Tidal influence – Water levels and salinity change with tides. High nutrient levels – Supports rich plant and animal life. Muddy or sandy bottoms – Good for burrowing organisms. Sheltered environment – Provides safe breeding grounds. Variable salinity – Ranges from freshwater to seawater depending on tides and rainfall.   4 types of estuarine habitats found in Africa : Mangrove Forests – Found along West African coasts, ...
