Detailed explanation-1: -Estuaries and their surrounding wetlands are bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea. Estuaries are home to unique plant and animal communities that have adapted to brackish water-a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coastal wetlands include seasonal and relatively permanent coastal plain freshwater swamps and marshes, coastal beaches, rocky shorelines, estuarine salt marshes, mangrove swamps, seagrass beds, mud flats and sand bars.

Detailed explanation-3: -Natural Processes: Coastal wetlands, especially estuarine and marine wetlands, are naturally altered by high energy events such as erosion and inundation from sea level rise and storms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Salt marshes are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by salt water brought in by the tides. They are marshy because the soil may be composed of deep mud and peat.
