I'm in the same boat in gc. Salt/brackish with no water control. When it does dry up over the summer, we get wild millet. If we hold water but it stays fairly fresh, we get lots of widgeon grass. It's like a gadwall buffet. I'm wondering if there is anything I can plant, just to help out.

I'm interested too. Same situation. One pond has grass galore. Gray duck buffet. The other pond off a boat canal with no water flow impedance, no a lick of grass. I want to plant something. Wish someone would develop a salt resistance corn hybrid!

We had the same thing this year with one pond having grass and the other not. Usually they both are loaded with one pond typically being the better spot. Well, the one that is usually better was the one that didn't get the grass and it really hurt us.

When we use to have a small crawfish pond we would plant germinated rice every year. The problem we had was keeping the wood ducks out. Within two days we would have around 500 ducks in our 4 acre pond. We tried bottle rockets, firing shotguns in the air, but nothing worked. They eventually would just go in at night and eat the rice anyway. I would imagine you would run into this problem with some birds planting in the marsh. So plant double and hope that a quarter makes it.
