estuary
의미: The wide, tidal mouth of a river where it meets the sea, characterised by a mix of fresh and salt water.
Estuaries are ecologically rich environments that support diverse wildlife, including migratory birds, fish, and shellfish. Major British estuaries include the Thames Estuary, the Severn Estuary, and the Humber Estuary. In linguistics, 'Estuary English' refers to a dialect influenced by both Cockney and Received Pronunciation, spoken in the Thames Estuary region. Estuaries face environmental pressures from pollution, development, and rising sea levels.
