Isn’t that an estuary?
- asdfman123 7y ago"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" I think of an estuary as that partially enclosed area, which is neither the river or the sea. But really all you need are those two things: the freshwater river, and the saltwater sea.
- riffraff 7y agoI think where "estuary" was used the correct term might have been "mouth", i.e. a river gets to the sea through a delta or estuary mouth. I am not confident enough with English to be sure though.
