Resumen:
Estuaries are the primary receiver and retainer of sediment delivered to the coast by rivers. Their geomorphologic and dynamic characteristics as well as their prevailing biological conditions are essential to define the capability of each estuary to retain sediments within the system. Whether the accommodation space available and the amount of sediment received are enough to permit the evolution of the estuary in phase with long-term sea level trends or anthropogenic modifications requires an in-depth analysis of the unique conditions present.
