Marine water fish farms

Creeks and estuarine

Estuaries can be defined as semi-enclosed bodies of coastal water that retain a free connection with the open sea, and within which sea-water is measurably mixed with fresh water of terrestrial origin. Though estuaries are the interface between open marine and a fully fresh water environment, the estuarine water is not a simple dilution of sea water.
