What Is an Estuary and Why Is It Important?
Put simply, an estuary is where the river meets the sea—where seawater mixes with freshwater. It’s also home to a diverse ecosystem of animals we love (and some we eat). Healthy waterways make for a healthy regional economy—and it’s going to take all of us to protect and preserve them.
