Mangroves: Mangroves Examples - Saltmarsh

Saltmarsh communities grow in poorly drained, flat intertidal zones. The saltmarsh shown in the photo is bordered by Melaleuca (bottle brush) and Eucalyptus on the landward side.

Saltmarshes are more diverse and complex in temperate than in tropical regions. The saltmarsh in this photo is on the shores of Western Port Bay, Victoria.
