Penguin Traversing the Salt Marsh

Life in Coastal Salt Marshes

Salt marshes are coastal ecosystems regularly flooded by saltwater tides, creating a unique habitat filled with salt-tolerant grasses. Shorebirds and coastal animals use these quiet wetlands for nesting, finding food, and taking cover among dense reed beds. The calm water channels protect small marine life from ocean waves.
