An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water formed where fresh water from rivers and streams flows into a bay or ocean, mixing with the salt water. . . By: ESAI, ROBIN, and CHELSEA . Depth, Dissolved 02, Light. Estuary depth: Usually ranges from 5m-10m (16ft-33ft). . Dissolved 02: In estuaries, prominent plant deaths rob estuaries of oxygen levels. Shallow, well mixed estuaries do much better in oxygen levels.. Estuaries. Estuaries are where the salt and fresh water mix. Sheltered environments for saltmarshes and mangroves. Spawning areas for fish. Recreational regions for man. Location where fishing industries are often situated. overharvest the oceans' fish and shellfish stocks and to destroy the breeding and rearing habitat with our excessive wastes.

Water-based . ecosystems may be fresh water (lakes and ponds) or saltwater (oceans, . estuaries and . saltwater marshes).. Aquatic ecosystems are primarily determined by the ecosystem’s . salinity. . Salinity refers to the dissolved salt content of the water.. Aquatic ecosystems are divided into freshwater and marine ecosystems.. Summary. This lesson utilizes the example of healthy estuaries to demonstrate tools scientists use to measure ecosystem health. Students will learn the definition and function of an estuary, an essential coastal ocean ecosystem. Students will then learn methods to measure parameters of large areas using quadrats and subsets. .
