“斯劳”、“水湾”、“海湾”--它们通常是真正的河口，是淡水溪流和河流与海洋沃茨交汇的地区，创造了高初级生产力和丰富生物多样性的地区。淡水漂浮在盐水之上，形成了各种各样的稀释区，鱼类可以在其中竞争。河口在化学和物理特性方面表现出高度的空间和时间变化。在那里可以找到大量的鱼类和贝类，它们也为许多海洋动物提供了出生地。大多数河口研究都是地方性或全州性的，但正在努力将这些研究综合起来，并在当地科学家之间建立对话，以创造更多的跨河口研究。由于大多数海洋研究人员都把重点放在海洋上，因此对河口研究的数据的研究和综合缺乏兴趣。
"Slough," "inlet," "bay," -they are often really estuaries, areas where fresh water streams and rivers meet the waters of the ocean, creating areas of high primary productivity and rich biotic diversity. The fresh water floats on top of the salt water, creating a variety of dilution zones in which fish can compete. Estuaries exhibit a high degree of spatial and temporal variation in chemical and physical characteristics. Large numbers of fish and shellfish can be found there and they also provide a birthing place for many marine animals. Most estuarine research has been local or statewide, but efforts are being made to bring synthesis to these studies and to create a dialog between local scientists to create more cross-estuary studies. There has been a lack of interest in research and synthesis of data from estuarine research, with most marine researchers focusing on the ocean.
