Connecticut Water Trails Program Connecticut Estuaries
An estuary is a coastal area where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with saltwater from the ocean. Estuaries are protected from the full force of the ocean by mudflats, sandspits and barrier islands. You'll find estuaries all over the world and there are lots of different names for them. Estuaries are sometimes called bays, lagoons, harbors or sounds. All of these places are estuaries if fresh water mixes with salt water
