Tidal Wetlands are found along our nation's sea coasts within reach of the oceans' tides. Salt Marshes develop near river mouths, behind barrier islands, in bays, on coastal plains, or in other areas affected by tides and protected from the full force of the surf.
Tidal marshes provide invaluable protected habitat for many juvenile fish species, birds, and other wildlife, help to cleanse polluted water, and protect against storms and floods.
The worlds highest tides occur at this very location.
