Explanation:

A corporation by estoppel is when a person has dealings with a company like it is a corporation. Doing business with an estoppel coporation means that one has admitted that company as a coporation.

From, the question above, it can be seen thta Estuary marina dealt with deepwater dredging company as a corporation and that means that Estuary marina has admitted to Deepwater dredging as a corporation.
