saltwater marshes, but their proximity to the coast still allows for daily fluctuations from tides. The inland location allows for a majority of the water content to be from freshwater stream discharge, meaning the salt content is low.

Tidal freshwater marshes are further divided into deltaic and fringing types.

Extensive research has been conducted on deltaic tidal freshwater marshes in the Chesapeake Bay, which were formed as a result of historic deforestation and intensive agriculture.
