• North SeaRelated: Major rivers entering the North Sea create estuaries and strong salinity gradients.

• Mangrove forestRelated: Many mangroves grow in estuaries, where salinity and sediment vary with tides and river flow.

• Barrier islandRelated: Barrier islands can shelter estuaries from direct ocean waves.

• SundarbansRelated: River and marine waters meet here, producing the salinity gradients mangrove species tolerate.

• DugongRelated: Estuaries can provide sheltered coastal habitat near dugong feeding grounds.

• HaloclineRelated: Freshwater overlying seawater can create a strong salinity boundary in estuaries.

• American crocodileRelated: Estuaries offer the brackish conditions frequently used by this species.

• Aquatic ecologyRelated: Its shifting salinity and tides create distinctive ecological conditions.

• Gulf of ThailandRelated: Major river mouths create estuarine habitats along the gulf’s shores.

• American shadRelated: Juvenile shad pass through estuaries while moving toward the ocean.
