"the intertidal flats of estuaries and bays, that" If you're specifying which intertidal flats it prefers, lose the comma? Alternatively, if you're describing the nature of intertidal flats generally, change to "which"?

"Known parasites of the estuary stingray include the tapeworms Heterocotyle chin and Shirleyrhynchus aetobatidis,[8][9] the nematode Echinocephalus overstreeti,[10] and the monogeneans Empruthotrema dasyatidis and Neoentobdella cribbi.[11][12]" Links? Don't be scared of redlinks.

"Finally, this ray's reputation for damaging shellfish has led to persecution by commercial shellfish farmers.[1]" Howso?
the source doesn't go into detail; I assume killing them somehow
"This ray is not known to be dangerous to humans.[5]" Feels a bit "tacked on". Also, does it not sting?

this site may not be a bad place to try.
