Observation Narrative	Extensive, medium-height marsh dominated by unusual combination of chiefly mesohaline species and plants more typically encountered in freshwater to oligohaline marshes. This community appears to be extensive on this portion of Chotank Creek. A few patches of Phragmites occur in the vicinity and may threaten other portions of this stand.
