Estuary Taxation

Estuary taxation refers to a financial mechanism that countries or regions implement to tax activities and developments in estuarine areas, which are vital ecosystems where freshwater meets saltwater. This taxation is designed to fund conservation efforts, regulate pollution, and manage resources sustainably. By imposing taxes on businesses or activities that may impact these fragile environments, governments encourage responsible use and protect biodiversity, while also generating revenue for local communities. Essentially, it balances economic growth with environmental protection in important coastal and river merging areas.
