National Estuaries Week is September 19 through 26, 2015. Estuaries are the nurseries for a wide range of marine life and act as filters to improve overall water quality, making them a vital part of the coastal ecosystem. Florida's estuaries provide more than 95 percent of the state's recreational and commercial industry fish, crustaceans, and shellfish.
