maritime front/estuarine front
Encontré muchos ejemplos de 'maritime front' pero algunos provenían de fuentes locales, aunque bastante confiables, como la Universidad de la Plata. El último link es de afuera, Oxford creo, y quizás más internacional.
The 35,000 sq. km River Plate is one of the world's principal waterways and is 230km wide at its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean. More than 97% of the fresh water in the river comes from the Parana and Uruguay rivers, and builds up to a rate of 22,000 cu. m/s into the ocean.
The maritime front is a 217,000 sq. km area that extends away from the coast, with an average depth of 10m at the river's mouth to more than 3,000m at its deepest depths.

The GEF implementing agency is the UNDP, acting in support of the Binational Commission of the River of the la Plata and its Maritime Front. The Maritime Front includes the la Plata River estuary to its confluence with the Southwest Atlantic Large Marine Ecosystem (LME), and encompasses critical habitat areas for marine, estuarine, and freshwaters fishes and birds. The Maritime Front also forms an important navigational corridor for marine transportation, including points of transshipment of goods to and from throughout the la Plata Basin by river, rail and road. This is the end point of the la Plata Basin hydrologic system.

seafront (sea front/sea-front)
Creo que esta definición mucho ayudaría para hacer la diferenciación entre litoral (coastline) y frente marítimo (seafront/sea front).

Aquí hay un enlace donde definen el concepto de Frente Marítimo: http://www.freplata.org/acerca_del_proyecto/el_frente.htm .
En primer lugar, es agua, no tierra. En segundo lugar, parece ser la franja de océano que está más allá de la línea imaginaria que divide el Río de la Plata del Océano Atlántico. Saludos, Mónica
Según el contexto, hay alguna posibilidad que esto se refiera a la zona de transición entre el estuario y el océano en sí, algo como 'estuary mouth', en vez de costa/mar o río?
