Definitions

Enclosure represents the degree of isolation of a water body from other waters because of enclosure by a land mass. In estuaries, enclosure determines the degree of exchange of water, materials, energy, and biota between the estuary and the sea. More enclosed water bodies have longer water residence times, can tend to be more evaporative and hypersaline, and can more readily trap and retain materials within them.
