NON-TIDAL MARITIME WETLANDS
Ecological community groups of mostly groundwater-controlled wetlands subject to oceanic
influences (e.g., deep sand deposits, salt spray, maritime microclimates). In Virginia, these are confined to
narrow zones along both flanks of the Eastern Shore, the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, and the Atlantic
shore in extreme southeastern Virginia.
