A brackish marsh is a type of wetland characterized by a mixture of saltwater and freshwater. This environment typically occurs in coastal areas where freshwater from rivers or streams meets and mixes with saltwater from the ocean. The salinity levels in brackish marshes are usually higher than freshwater marshes but lower than salt marshes. Brackish marshes support a variety of plant and animal species adapted to the fluctuating salinity levels.
