Synopsis: Waterways & watercourses: Waterways: Estuary:

where improvements can build on existing networks of freshwater tributaries, tidal estuaries, infrastructure and engineered ecosystems.

For example, in estuary environments so-called oystertecture, in which shellfish are farmed on sculptural metal structures, could be used to filter impurities,

and seascape consisting of sand islands coastal mangroves estuaries dry forests and farmland. It is where humpbacks whales mate on their southern migration down the coast;

In our no-take fishing zones in Moma Estuary we carried out fish surveys with local fishermen.

and the executive director of the nonprofit Weeks Bay Foundation which researches estuaries. The forest contains trees so well-preserved that

For example the 20-mile-long (32 km) Saemangeum seawall in South korea cut off 170 square miles (440 square km) of estuary and tidal flats feeding grounds for hundreds of thousands of migratory

Before the 1930s about 4. 9 trillion gallons (18.5 trillion liters) streamed from the U s.-Mexico border to the Gulf of california each year supporting numerous wetlands and a major estuary.

This plan governs the enormous estuary that connects the San Joaquin to the Pacific the Bay Delta;

it's the largest estuary on the west coast of either North or South america said Eric Wesselman executive director of the California conservation organization Friends of the River.

The estuary is a crucial habitat for fish including the economically important Chinook salmon Wesselman who was involved not in the American Rivers report told Live Science.

The water board has the power to increase flows down the San Joaquin into the estuary improving the water and habitat quality.

If the estuary collapses then these fisheries collapse Wesselman said. There are also farmers near the estuary who would prefer more water get downstream Cain added.

And 23 million Californians get drinking water from the San Joaquin and south delta. Today that supply is compromised really by the low quality

North and West Frisian spoken around the Rhine estuary; and Danish primarily spoken in the area along the Danish border.

This pulse flow opens the door for new possibilities for restoring riparian and estuary habitats.

Though the amount of water reaching the estuary habitat where river mixes with sea will likely be said small Zamora it could help the hundreds of bird species who nest in the Gulf

and perhaps even restore some species that had vanished from the estuary. I think everyone is excited very about the opportunities Zamora said.

Tiktaalik was probably mostly aquatic walking#on the bottom of shallow water estuaries. It had a fishlike pelvis

Canoe on the coast The canoe was revealed near the sheltered Anaweka estuary on the northwestern end of New zealand's South Island.

Kauffman and his team assessed aboveground and belowground carbon pools in mangrove sites occupying estuaries and oceanic settings, such as island coasts.

The team found that this underground layer is thicker in mangrove forests in estuaries than in those near the ocean

the relative area of mangrove forests in estuaries compared with those near oceans, and the effect of land-use changes on carbon release from soils.

So much of the water that historically flowed south from Lake Okeechobee is diverted now to estuaries on Florida's east and west coasts.

while the coastal estuaries receive far too much from the lake. Although a connection hasn't been made definitively heavy flows of nutrient-rich freshwater into the estuaries are suspected in die offs of eelgrass manatees and pelicans;

huge blooms of algae; and zones of oxygen-starved water Bohlen says. The situation reached a crisis this summer

This way water from the northern Everglades doesn't flow as quickly or in as large amounts into Lake Okeechobee taking pressure off the lake its dike and the estuaries.

The specific name of the species refers to the type locality the town Kei Mouth located at the estuary of the Great Kei River in the Eastern cape Province.

In the United states the Environmental protection agency found stormwater runoff to be one of the top 10 causes of compromised environments in rivers streams lakes ponds reservoirs bays and estuaries.
