Estuary: Latin antecedent, Aestuarium, which means "tidal place". Central to these marine systems is a dynamic exchange between seawater and freshwater, the latter pouring in from a stream, river, or overland runoff.
The sixty-five rivers that turndle of the the US into the Gulf collaborate in the cultivation of a nearly sold band of estuaries that runs its shores. Bearing nutrient-provisioned sediment, the flowing freshwater stirs its charge into the salty sea tide. This brackish broth stimulates spectacular vegetable and animal growth, setting a table for hungry wildlife...

GreenPolicy360: Let's look now at the Tampa Bay estuaries, a system of waterways connected along the west central coast of Florida. The terrestrial home base of GreenPolicy360 is in Clearwater, a few meters from Bay waters and although the city's name is "clearwater", a regional struggle to clean the polluted water then protect the coastal waterways and the Bay with its estuaries has been a decades-long fight. Fortunately, due to environmental activism that has been led by forward-looking local citizens and public interest organizations like the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, a model of eco-activism.
