SUMMARY � Located along the shoreline where fresh water from a river meets salt

SUMMARY � Located along the shoreline where fresh water from a river meets salt water from the ocean. � Estuaries have twice the amount of life. � Estuaries are great places for organisms to lay eggs, have babies, and raise their young. � Estuaries absorb lots of water. � Estuaries absorb lots of pollution coming from a river. � There are two types of estuaries: salt marshes and mangrove forests.
