All water starts out as salt water. Water evaporates from the sea into the atmosphere forms on little particles which in turn form clouds that drift over mountains that fall down to make rivers. that flow to the sea and the whole thing starts again.salt and fresh mix in estuaries and mouths of rivers>Did you know it takes longer to drown in salt water than fresh water?

See, a river is all basically connected to the ocean in some way. WHere they meet is called an estuary and it is a beautiful sight. There, it is more like a combination of salt/fresh water (less salty). It is usually an unusual sky blue except a little lighter. They are great for fishing bonefish and such

The fresh water in river flows outwards to the sea in general terms. This is freshwater from surrounding hills etc. The sea however may intrude on the river from a tidal perspective and there would be a water concentration of mixed sea and river water for a particular stretch where river and sea meet.
However the saltwater concentration would gradually diminish as you move further up river away from the sea and vice versa.

That is typically determined by the state's legislature, since different regulations may apply to fresh- and salt-water fishing.

Salt water Is usually i tidal water which means the hieght goes up and down due to the moons gravity. fresh water's hieght is usually just affected by rain.

the sea may back up the river you get i believe thy call a serge
this was the main reason the themes barrier was built
so it depends on the sea levels , but i would say mainly in the estuary

Saltwater moves with the Tides. (moons gravitaition effect on earth)
Freshwater doesn't.
They meet or Blend in estuaries.

depends how strong the tide the tide is....... the river by where i live (The River Wye) its nearly 10 miles upstream, you can usually tell by the amount of mud deposited on the river banks.
