Concept: Sublittoral sand in variable salinity (estuaries) in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A5.22
Preferred label	Sublittoral sand in variable salinity (estuaries)
Definition	Clean sands that occur in the upper reaches of marine inlets, especially estuaries, where water movement is moderately strong, allowing the sedimentation of sand but not the finer silt fraction. The habitat typically lacks a significant seaweed component and is characterised by brackish-water tolerant fauna, particularly amphipods, polychaetes and mysid shrimps.
