roots. This makes their position more stable.
The plants of the estuary have variations in the root systems. Small plants are prone to
having tiny projections that anchor them to the substrate while larger plants exhibit
elaborate root systems.
Most residents of the estuary burrow into the muddy substrate. This behavior gives them
access to a high level of nutrients while providing shelter.
Pelagic species use the estuary as marine nurseries. Many fish lay their eggs in the
estuary because they gain protection from the oceanic predators. Also, the larvae are
able to take advantage of the high nutrients during vital growth stages of their life.
