Question Title

* 10. Based on what you learned at Marsh Mania, indicate which of the statements below are true (check all that apply):

Tidal marshes are transitional zones between land and water. The plants that make up a marsh are regularly flooded by tides and can withstand the changing conditions of the Bay.

Tidal marshes provide food and shelter for many birds, fish, crabs, shrimp and mammals.

The stems and roots of tidal marsh plants slow wave energy and trap sediments.

Freshwater wetlands provide important stopover grounds for migratory birds.

Marshes and freshwater wetlands reduce the severity and frequency of flooding.

Healthy marshes are important to our economy providing the basis for millions of dollars worth of commercial and recreational fishing.

Bears live in marshes.
