By the sea - a guide to the coastal zone of Atlantic Canada. Module 4, Salt marshes / main authors, Mark Butler [and six others]. : Fs23-289/1996-4E-PDF
"Salt marshes play an important role in the coastal zone of Atlantic Canada.They provide shelter for plants and animals. They also trap nutrient-rich sediments. Salt marshes are an important nursery area for some fish, and are used by many other species for feeding and resting. Some of the nutrients from the decomposed plant matter get flushed out with the tides and transported to other coastal ecosystems. ... The most extensive continuous salt marshes in Prince Edward Island are located on the Hillsborough River and its tributaries. In Nova Scotia, extensive saltmarshes are found in the upper Bay of Fundy, Minas Basin, and Chignecto Bay. In New Brunswick, salt marshes are found along most of the coast. Salt marshes are scattered throughout Newfoundland and Labrador."--page 4.
