Answer:

An intertidal zone is the area between the high tide mark and the low tide mark anywhere in the world where a coastline is tidal (IE borders a sea/ocean which has changing tidal cycles). ... Estuaries are bodies of water and their surrounding coastal habitats typically found where rivers meet the sea.
