An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. They are an important part of the shipping industry because there are many industrial ports located in estuaries due its depth of water and connection with open sea. Estuaries are often the economic centres of coastal communities.Estuaries provide habitat for more than 75 percent of the U.S.commercial fish catch, and an even greater percentage of the recreational fish catch. Estuaries also help to maintain healthy ocean environments. They filter water providing cleaner habitats for marine life. Estuaries also provide critical habitat for species that are valued commercially, recreationally, and culturally. Birds, fish, amphibians, insects, and other wildlife depend on estuaries to live, feed, nest, and reproduce.
