Estuaries are where the rivers meet the sea. Estuarine are at an intersection of point, rivers, ocean, land, and atmosphere.
Estuaries are between the rivers, mainland, and ocean.
In North Carolina estuaries are behind our barrier islands. Fresh water flowing from the rivers mixes with saltwater flowing through inlets from the ocean. The freshwater carries with it anything that has washed off the land and into streams along its way. The estuaries also catch pollutants that have been captured in the atmosphere inland and end up raining down at the coast. You cannot drink it because of the salt.
