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).
