Freshwater Marsh

Found in low areas with high water tables in the sandhills and flatwoods as well as along inland creeks. Sawgrass, actually a sedge not a grass, with saw-like leaf edges is commonly the most dominant freshwater marsh plant. Freshwater marshes support numerous wading birds, fish, and alligators.
