EsturaryExplanation...A partially-enclosed coastal region where sea water mixes with freshwater is called an estuary. Estuaries are typically found at the mouth of a stream or river. Estuaries are complex ecosystems, rich in marine life.----------------------------------

An estuary (what I believe you meant to ask about) is a partially enclosed body of water where freshwater meets and mixes with saltwater, such as a river meeting a sea.
estuaryAn estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea
Freshwater from rivers and streams typically ends up in the sea, where it mixes with saltwater. However, some freshwater can also infiltrate the ground and recharge underground aquifers, providing a source of drinking water for communities and ecosystems.
When a river meets the sea and becomes influenced by tides, it is known as an estuary. Estuaries are transitional zones where freshwater from rivers mixes with saltwater from the sea, resulting in unique ecosystems that support diverse plants and animals.
"Freshwater" doesn't necessarily mean "clean" water - it just means water that does not have a concentration of salt like sea water does. A stream can be muddy and still be freshwater. Or a river can be muddy and be freshwater, or saltwater, or a combination of both.
No, the Florida Everglades is a unique ecosystem known as a "river of grass" due to its slow-moving water flow and abundant vegetation. It is classified as a freshwater peatland marsh, not an estuary which is typically a semi-enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from rivers meets and mixes with saltwater from the sea.
The river is freshwater
A lake has freshwater and the sea has salt water.
An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with saltwater from the ocean. This mixing results in brackish water, which has a salinity level that is in between freshwater and seawater.
