Estuaries

What is an Estuary?

An estuary is the area where a river meets the sea. Estuaries are unique and dynamic environments that include some of the most complex ecosystems on earth, and the Corangamite region has more estuaries than anywhere else in Victoria.

Estuaries are a great place to spend time swimming, walking, canoeing or having a picnic. Importantly, they also act as buffers to protect shorelines from erosion, flooding and provide essential food and habitat for birds, fish and other wildlife.
