Density-Dependent:
1. One example would be the food and water supply of most of the birds in estuaries. Only so much food and water can be produced, and based on the density of animals, so may die off because there is not enough food to allow them to survive.
2. Another example would be disease. If a fish gets a disease, if the water flow is very populated, then it's more likely that the disease will spread, because there is more interactions happening.
Density-Independent:
1. The temperature of an estuary is a density independent factor. No matter how many fish there are, some fish can not survive because the water is too cold, or too hot.
2.Another would be natural disasters. If a hurricane came into an estuary, It would be a threat to wildlife, not matter how much there was.
