Abstract (en)

Transitional waters are defined by the European Commission as “bodies of surface water in the vicinity of river mouths which are partially saline in character as a result of their proximity to coastal waters but which are substantially influenced by freshwater flows.” These areas are diverse, highly productive, ecologically important systems on a global scale and highly valuable for the services they provide to human societies.
