saline wetlands

Saline wetlands are natural or artificial areas saturated with salty or brackish water, often found near coastlines or inland salt lakes. These ecosystems support specialized plants and animals adapted to high salinity levels, such as certain grasses, algae, and brine shrimp. Saline wetlands play vital roles in water filtration, habitat provision, and shoreline stabilization. They often serve as important breeding and feeding grounds for migratory birds and other wildlife. Due to their unique conditions, they are sensitive environments that require careful management to preserve their ecological functions.
