estuary
noun
es·tu·ary ˈes-chə-ˌwer-ē 
ˈesh-
plural estuaries
: a water passage where the tide meets a river current
especially : an arm of the sea at the lower end of a river
Did you know?
A partly enclosed coastal body of water in which river water is mixed with seawater is called an estuary. An estuary is thus defined by salinity rather than geography. Many coastal features designated by other names are in fact estuaries (for instance, Chesapeake Bay). Some of the oldest continuous civilizations have flourished in estuarine environments (for example, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the Nile delta, and the Ganges delta). Cities such as London (Thames River), New York (Hudson River), and Montreal (St. Lawrence River) developed on estuaries and became important commercial centers.
