A strong current associated with the swift movement of water through inlets and the mouths of estuaries, embayments, and harbors is commonly referred to as a tidal current. These currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, resulting in the rise and fall of sea levels during tidal cycles. They can significantly influence navigation, sediment transport, and the distribution of marine organisms in these areas. Tidal currents can be particularly strong and unpredictable, posing challenges for boats and coastal infrastructure.
