Estuaries (2 of 2): Cultural Benefits of Estuaries
- "Among the cultural benefits of estuaries are recreation, scientific knowledge, education, and aesthetic values. Boating, fishing, swimming, surfing, and bird watching are just a few of the numerous recreational activities people enjoy in estuaries. Estuaries are often the cultural centers of coastal communities, serving as the focal points for local commerce, recreation, celebrations, customs, and traditions." - excerpt from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency web site at http://www.epa.gov/owow/estuaries/about1.htm
