		Dee Estuary birds - birdwatching, birding and twitching
		The Dee Estuary, on the North Wales / North-West England border, is one of the United Kingdom's premier birding locations for wetland and shorebirds.
		Lastly, 'Dee Estuary Birding' is just the name of this web site - it is not the name of an organisation or society.

	Estuary - LoveToKnow 1911
		Structurally the estuary may represent the long-continued action of river erosion and tidal erosion confined to a narrow channel, most effective where most concentrated, or an estuary may be the drowned portion of the lower part of a river-valley.
		In a map of Britain showing sea-depths it will be observed that under the Severn estuary the sea deepens in a number of steps descending by concentric V's that become blunter towards deep water until the last is a mere indentation pointing towards the long narrow termination of the present estuary.
		In this and in similar cases the progress of the estuary is indicated upon what is now the continental shelf.

	Estuary
		The estuary serves a banquet of decaying plants, tiny floating plants and animals called plankton, and little fishes.
		One of the strangest residents of the estuary has four eyes, a spear for a tail, blue blood, and ancestors who walked the earth before the dinosaurs.

	Estuary - MSN Encarta
		Estuary, semienclosed coastal area, where seawater mixes with fresh water from rivers; also, the tidal area of the lower part of a river.
		The most highly stratified estuaries are the ones that receive a large amount of fresh water but that have a relatively low tidal range; the Mississippi Delta is one example.
		All of the main vertebrate groups are represented in estuaries: mammals, rodents, carnivores, and ungulates.

	Estuary English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Estuary English is a name given to the form of English widely spoken in South East England and the East of England; especially along the River Thames and its estuary, which is where the two regions meet.
		Estuary English is widely encountered throughout the south and south-east of England, particularly among the young.
		Estuary English definitely is on the rise, thus replacing old standard dialects such as Scouse even in the North of Great Britain.

	Estuary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An estuary is a mouth of a river with a triangle form, semi-enclosed coastal body of water which has a free connection with the open sea and within which seawater mixes with fresh water.
		An estuary is typically the tidal mouth of a river, and estuaries are often characterised by sedimentation of silt carried in from terrestrial runoff.
		Estuaries are more likely to occur on submerged coasts, where the sea level has risen in relation to the land, as this process floods valleys to form rias and fjords.

	EPA > National Estuary Program > About Estuaries
		An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water along the coast where freshwater from rivers and streams meet and mix with salt water from the ocean.
		Estuaries and the lands surrounding them are places of transition from land to sea, and although influenced by the tides, they are protected from the full force of ocean waves, winds, and storms by such landforms as barrier islands or peninsulas.
		Estuaries are often the cultural centers of coastal communities, serving as the focal points for local commerce, recreation, celebrations, customs, and traditions (2).

	Rosewarne: Estuary English (1984)
		"Estuary English" is in a strong position to exert influence on the pronunciation of the future.
		For example, vowels in final position in "Estuary English" such as the /i:/ in "me" and the second /I/ in city, are longer than normally found in RP and may tend towards the quality of a diphthong.
		The intonation of "Estuary English" is characterized by frequent prominence being given to prepositions and auxiliary verbs which are not normally stressed in General RP.

	estuary. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Chesapeake Bay is one of the largest estuaries of this type in the United States and was formed during the melting of the Pleistocene ice sheets (see Pleistocene epoch).
		The shape of an estuary affects the height of the tide; some estuaries (such as the Severn and the Bay of Fundy) are characterized by a wavelike tidal bore.
		Human impact on estuaries includes reclamation of tidal land by filling; pollution from sewage, solid waste, industrial effluent, and hot water; increased sedimentation filling the estuary; and alteration of the salinity of estuarine waters by withdrawal or increased influx of freshwater.

		Estuaries are of immense importance and are frequently areas of high fertility and large phytoplankton and zooplankton populations.
		An estuary is a semi-enclosed coastal body of water which has free connection with the sea, thus is strongly affected by the tidal action.
		The estuary is not part of the coast but is a coastal feature with a continuous exchange of water between it and the sea.

	dictionary - Estuary
		The key feature of an estuary is that it is an interface between sea water and fresh water and there is an influence of the ocean tide creating a dynamic relationship between the two waters.
		An estuary is typically the mouth of a river, and estuaries are often characterised by sedimentation of silt from the river, which provides a unique habitat, for example, for wading birds.
		Estuaries are more likely to occur on submerged coastlines, where the sea level has risen in relation to the land, as this process floods valleys to form rias, fjords etc, which can be classified as estuaries.

	The Hudson River Estuary - The Basics
		An estuary is a semi-enclosed coastal body of water with a free connection to the open sea and within which sea water is diluted by fresh water.
		Estuaries are geologically ephemeral and can rapidly disappear with a relatively small change in sea level via glaciations (drop of sea level) and deglaciations (rise of sea level).
		Estuaries may originate from (1) the drowning of river valleys or fjords, (2) the formation of barrier beaches that enclose a shallow bay, or (3) tectonic activity (Levinton 1982).

	Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration
		On the Qwuloolt, a levee was constructed on the north bank of Ebey Slough and tide gates were installed at the mouth of Allen and Jones creeks to convert the land for agriculture at the beginning of the twentieth century.
		Birds found in the estuary include: canada geese, brant, green-winged teal, wood ducks, redheads, tundra and trumpeter swans, great-blue herons, arctic terns, bonaparte’s gulls, ring-billed and mew gulls, red-tailed hawks, kingfishers, bald eagles, osprey and great-horned owls.

	The Nature Conservancy in Minnesota - St. Louis River Estuary
		The estuary is easily appreciated by foot or by boat, with numerous trails and quiet waters and entry points on both sides of the estuary.
		The St. Louis Estuary serves as the primary nursery for the fish found in western Lake Superior, and is home to over 45 native fish species, including walleye, lake sturgeon, muskellunge, northern pike and smallmouth bass.
		The combination of ecosystems within the St. Louis Estuary — estuarine wetland and aquatic habitats, baymouth bar complex, its importance to breeding and migratory birds, and its importance to native fish, — are very unusual in Lake Superior, the Upper Midwest, the Great Lakes, and around the world.

	Estuary \| World of Earth Science
		In an estuary, the deposition of sediments is greatly influenced by tidal currents and ocean waves.
		The structures in the upper reaches of the estuary are described as asymmetric and longitudinal bars become point bars similar to those observed in rivers.
		On the ocean side of the estuary, the sand bars are penetrated by channels through which the flow of water into and out of the estuary is restrained.

	Ecosystem of Great Bay Estuary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the upper estuary surging river flows during spring and fall rains alternate with dehydrating summer heat, causing the water of Great Bay to have five times the salinity range and two times the temperature range of the water at the mouth of the Piscataqua River.
		Vast plant and algae growth are cultivated in the sheltered, sunlit waters that are fertilized by the elements in seawater, as well as the nutrients clinging to sediment particles suspended in the rivers and the tides.
		This is how estuaries are able to produce at least as much biomass per acre than a comparable span of farmland, and far more than an acre of ocean.
