Saltmarshes
Saltmarshes lie between the land and the sea, literally bridging the two habitats: between the water on one side and the dry land on the other. They are, therefore, a unique habitat, as tidal water covers the land twice a day. They are typical of sheltered areas on the coast, namely straits, river estuaries, and ports where they are protected from the force of the waves.
