Severn Estuary

The Severn Estuary is a large body of water located in the United Kingdom, where the River Severn meets the Bristol Channel, flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. It spans parts of England and Wales and is notable for having one of the highest tidal ranges in the world, with tides that can rise and fall dramatically. This unique feature supports a diverse ecosystem, rich in wildlife, including various bird species and marine life. The estuary is also significant for shipping, recreation, and renewable energy projects, like tidal power, reflecting its importance to local communities and economies.
