A transitional environment between rivers and the
sea where freshwater mixes with seawater and is influenced
by tides. Most were formed when sea levels were lower, and
rivers carved out deep valleys that are now flooded by water.
They are typically bordered by tidal wetlands and are sensitive
ecological zones that are prone to disturbances by pollution,
storms, and overuse by people.
