Coasts

An estuary is a semi-enclosed embayment, with a free connection to the sea at one end and a freshwater supply at the other.

Over the past decade, NIWA has published many popular articles that deal with estuaries - this overview is intended to bring together and make whole sense of the information published to date in the various popular articles.

Scientists across NIWA use specialist tools manufactured across the world to perform their research and environmental consultancy.
