That marsh is not salt marsh anyway, so that's irrelevant. There is a very small fringing salt marsh on the southern end. Most of it is intermediate and brackish. Most of what I have seen is dominated by wiregrass, which is not a good duck food.

I know there is enough food and fresh water between here and canada that the ole grey duck marsh behind the weirs shouldn't be a huge concern. That marsh gets much fresher there won't be too many greys in there. Ponds will close in with cattails and cut grass, and there won't be any open water period. Fly over lacassine refuge and tell me that's a healthy marsh that is great habitat. It was 5 years ago, now it is done for.
