A salt marsh is a type of marsh that is between land and salty water. It has very shallow water and gets a lot of sunlight.
Salt marsh snails are preyed upon by a variety of animals, including birds such as herons and shorebirds, as well as crabs and other invertebrates. Additionally, fish, raccoons, and some mammals may also feed on salt marsh snails.
The oil-like sheen on a salt marsh is often caused by oil or fuel spills, which can harm the vegetation and wildlife in the area. It disrupts the delicate balance of the ecosystem and can have long-lasting negative effects on the environment. Clean-up efforts are required to minimize the impact of oil contamination on the salt marsh.
The average rainfall of a salt marsh can vary depending on location and climate, but it is typically around 30-50 inches per year. This makes salt marshes relatively wet ecosystems that are able to support unique plant and animal species.
Creating a salt marsh can take several years to decades, depending on various factors such as environmental conditions, sediment availability, and tidal influence. Natural processes like sediment deposition and vegetation growth play crucial roles in marsh formation. Restoration efforts can accelerate this process, but achieving a fully functioning salt marsh ecosystem often requires time to establish a balance of flora and fauna. Overall, the timeline can vary widely based on specific circumstances.

The salt marsh can leak into the ocean, causing the ocean to be saltier. OR The marshes are no where near the ocean, so they can't affect it at all.
Well salt. And minerals and it would have something in it to make the plants grow.
