Also known as a salt marsh, coastal wetlands are low lying areas where tidal fluctuations provide habitat for a variety of species. Tidal marsh species include: herons, rails, osprey, fiddler crab, alligator and crocodile, marsh rabbit, gray fox, bobcat, various ducks.
The coastal plain is a wetland because it has the term of coastal in it. ''Coastal'' means a wetland.
Not really. The total coastal wetland in India is 27.12% of the total wetland area in India.

Wetlands are more prevalent in the Coastal Plain physiographic province of Virginia. This region has low-lying areas with slow-moving water that create ideal conditions for wetland formation.
The buffer provided by the wetland is a natural protective barrier that absorbs storm surges, reduces wave energy, and mitigates flooding impacts on inland areas. This ecosystem helps to stabilize shorelines, filter pollutants, and provide habitat for various species, thereby enhancing resilience against extreme weather events. By acting as a sponge, coastal wetlands can significantly lessen the damage caused by storms, safeguarding both natural and human communities.
Because it rains a lot of times it makes the ground wet an than it stays wet so it makes a wetland.

The answer to this question is quite simple. Go on the internet and write down the question. The answer should come up there. Good luck!!! JOKES!! I only know how coastal wetlands are formed. you will find the answer below. A coastal wetland forms when a river slows down as it approaches the sea, causing the sand and mud to sink to the bottom. Over time this sediment builds up into banks, on which plants grow. The plants then trap more sediment, and allow wetland habitats to develop The answer to this question is quite simple.

A treeless wetland ecosystem, also known as a marsh or swamp, is an area characterized by waterlogged soils and water-loving vegetation such as grasses, sedges, and mosses. These ecosystems are important for biodiversity, flood control, water purification, and carbon storage. Examples include marshes in coastal areas and peatlands in northern regions.
There are three types of wetlands:Marsh- a coastal wetland which contains fresh water. It has soft-stemmed plants and sometimes marshes are covered with ocean water.Swamp- contains woody plants and trees. It is a coastal wetland filled with salty ocean water. Mangrove trees could be found in a swamp.Bog- a wetland found with a layer of peat. Rotting and decaying plants and animals form a layer in the bog. Bogs are found near foggy hills, streams, slow moving rivers, small lakes or large ponds.
