Are wetlands salt or freshwater?
Actually they're either neither or both ; wetlands lie in the interface between fresh and salt water.
How do wetlands differ from freshwater wetlands?
Coastal wetlands are those wetlands that are within, along, or near tidally-influenced water bodies. Their source of water (hydrology) may be salt, fresh, or both (brackish). Freshwater wetlands are those wetlands whose water source (hydrology) is of fresh water (not salty or brackish) . They can be tidally influenced by freshwater tides (tidal waterways above the salt line) or may be far inland (hydrology source is usually groundwater, surface waters, or precipitation).

Where does a diatom live?

What is an ecosystem that contains both salt water and fresh water?
Sorry for this short answer... Earth. A briny water ecosystem can contain both salt and fresh water, though it is all mixed together. These ecosystems are where a fresh water source, such as a river, meets a salt water source, such as an ocean. River deltas commonly have briny water.
How are oceans and rivers the same?
Both fresh water and salt water environments have currents that flow through them, and both can support a wide variety of aquatic life.
Do estuaries contain both salt water and freshwater?
Yes they do because the correct definition of estuary is a body of water that contains both salt water and freshwater
