Thanks Marco.
I guess I'm still confused about why regularly flooded marsh would act as a protecting dike for the land behind it. If it is flooded regularly, wouldn't that allow water to reach the dry land, assuming the dry land is low enough in the tide range? At least during high tides?
Thanks,
Lindsey
