- What is a Marsh? Wading in Wonderous Wetlands - OutforiaA marsh is a permanent wetland where herbaceous plants such as reeds and grasses grow. Marshes have shallow water, where trees are not present, or at least not in the dominant flora. Marshes can be composed of salt, fresh water, or a mixture of both. Marshes can be fun to explore, as long as you have the right equipment and gear.

Unlike swamps, which are dominated by trees, marshes are usually treeless and dominated by grasses and other herbaceous plants. Herbaceous plants have no woody stem above ground, and they grow and die back on a regular cycle.
- How marsh grass protects shorelines | MIT News | Massachusetts ...Marsh plants, which are ubiquitous along the world’s shorelines, can play a major role in mitigating the damage to coastlines as sea levels rise and storm surges increase. Now, a new MIT study provides greater detail about how these protective benefits work under real-world conditions shaped by waves and currents.
