An estuary is the area where the fresh water of a river meets the salty ocean. It is a unique ecosystem that attracts a variety of plants and animals, including many species of fish and birds. The other options - intertidal zone, continental shelf, pelagic zone, and benthic zone - do not specifically refer to the area where a river meets the ocean. The intertidal zone refers to the area between the high tide and low tide, the continental shelf is the area of shallow ocean water near the shore, the pelagic zone refers to the open ocean, and the benthic zone refers to the ocean floor.
