An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.
Estuaries form a transition zone between river environments and ocean environments and are subject to both marine influences, such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences, such as flows of fresh water and sediment. The inflow of both seawater and freshwater provide high levels of nutrients in both the water column and sediment, making estuaries among the most productive natural habitats in the world.
Most modern-day estuaries were formed during the Holocene epoch by the flooding of river-eroded or glacially-scoured valleys when sea level began to rise about 10,000-12,000 years ago. Estuaries are typically classified by their geomorphological features or by water circulation patterns and can be referred to by many different names, such as bays, harbors, lagoons, inlets, or sounds, although sometimes these water bodies do not necessarily meet the above criteria of an estuary and may be fully saline.

Estuarine Ecology
Why did I had to leave
Why did I had to tear down
The walls we created
Please, goddamn tell me why
A amtter of life and death
It appeared to be back then
When we said goodbye
Oh God, take me back
Long forgotten words
Our first kiss
Didn't think I could remember them
But it all comes back
Back, back in my mind
A moment of total silence
Then a short last kiss
A kiss of death
Cos I haven't lived since
Long forgotten words
Our first kiss
Didn't think I could remember them
But it all comes back
Back, back in time
I jumped in my car
And rode of blind
I could imagine her
Staying behind
With only one thing
