Marshes, Mires, and Shoreline Habitats
Coastal Freshwater and Low-Salinity Marshes
No image for this habitat.
Habitat Overview
Members are associated with coastal marshes that are primarily freshwater but with some also occurring in brackish but not salt marshes. Members of this habitat are restricted to the Coastal Plain, with residential populations, at least, not occurring in the Piedmont or Mountains.
This habitat intersects Salt and Brackish Marshes, with both including low-salinity areas.
