Estuaries are bodies of water and their surrounding coastal habitats typically found where
rivers meet the sea.

Coral Reefs Salt Marsh

Mud Flats Rocky Shore

QUESTIONS:
 What are the living things (plants and animals) that you can
observe from the habitats found in inter tidal zones and
estuaries during high tide? Low tide?

 How living things interact with each other in the estuaries

and inter tidal zones?
