Rivers of temperate coasts

--- CONTENT--
The rivers of the temperate coasts are those that flow in the coastal zones of the temperate zones of the planet. According to the Global 200 list, which proposes a classification of all the biomes of the planet, the set of "fiumi delle costae temperate" is one of twelve freshwater biomes.

According to the Global 200 list, this biome includes river basins, but also lagoons, coastal lakes and other coastal wetlands of temperate zones.

However, it does not include, even if they fall into temperate zones, river basins affecting large alluvial areas (which constitute a separate biome) and the high course of rivers of a certain length (other distinct bioma).
