Abstract
Ten distinct estuarine regions of the United States contain 884 separate estuarine systems with 29.3 million surface acres of water, and excluding Alaska, 8.2 million acres of marsh. Tributary runoff influences each of the estuaries in terms of the quantity and quality of tributary water received as well as where and when it is discharged.
