Estuaries

Port Graham Bay is in south-central Alaska and joins Kachemak Bay.

Estuaries directly support human communities. They provide food, income, and improve the basic quality of life. People must take care, however, to use estuaries in a way that is sustainable to allow the ecosystem, as well as human cultures and economies, to continue well into the future.
