A recent study conducted by Wageningen University & Research has found that human activities have significantly changed tidal dynamics in river estuaries over the past centuries.
These changes have resulted in stronger tides being observed farther inland in various regions globally.
The findings underscore the impact of human interventions on natural tidal patterns, raising concerns about the long-term effects on coastal ecosystems.
