Do you feel these findings are typical of estuaries in this region? What makes this estuary unique from others you have examined?
Do you feel these findings are typical of estuaries in this region? What makes this estuary unique from others you have examined? Answer: Estuaries not only provide land, marine animals and plants with food and safe habitats, but also can be used by local residents for fishing and leisure activities. An estuary is a complex environment affected by tides, ocean waves, and river inflows that create transition water (i.e., a blackish water zone of fresh water and seawater), wherein unique deposition features can form, such as deltas, shoals, and etc. during the Holocene transgression (Chough et al., 2000). The Nakdong River Estuary (NRE) is a delta in South Korea wherein barrier islands and shoals are well-developed since about 100 year. Due to continuous coastal development around the estuary, most of the coastline surrounding the NRE is now artificial, including the Noksan dike (built in 1934), NRE barrage (built in 1987), Noksan·Sinho and Sinpyeong·Jangnim industrial zones, the Myeonji business district, and Busan New Port. These changes have seriously affected not only seawater and material cycling in the NRE, but also the development of barrier islands in front of the estuary (Kim et al., 2007; Chang and Kim 2006).
