Estuarine Management

Estuarine management involves the responsible planning and protection of estuaries—parts of rivers where freshwater meets the sea. These areas are vital for ecosystems, supporting diverse wildlife, filtering pollutants, and providing economic benefits like fishing and recreation. Management practices include regulating development, controlling pollution, restoring habitats, and monitoring water quality to ensure the estuary remains healthy and sustainable. The goal is to balance environmental protection with human use, preserving the estuary's natural resources for future generations while supporting local communities.
