Coastal Physiographic Features - Estuaries
This is a shapefile of the coastal physiographic feature type 'estuaries'. The polygons in this shapefile represent the estuaries found within the UK. Where, estuary is defined as part of Annex I 1160 -Large Shallow Inlets and Bays: Downstream part of a river where it widens to enter the sea. Often with significant freshwater influence and predominantly comprising sediment habitats. For sub-divisions (coastal plain, bar-built and complex) see Davidson et al (1991).

Extracted from the Large Shallow Inlets and Bays TopCat record: http://topcat/app/%20-%20/editor/ddaa1c86-3aee-4789-86d4-6b7cb60405a4 This is a shapefile of estuaries around UK for Article 17 reporting 2013. The orginal layer was in BNG projection, which was then transformed into WGS84 using the following transformation method: OSGB_1936_To_WGS_1984_5and this was subsequently projected into Lambert Equal-area projection for the creation of the grid layer and area calculations.
