In Tasmania, saltmarshes are formally defined and mapped by two vegetation community types: succulent saltmarsh (ASS) and grassy saltmarsh (ARS)
Succulent saltmarsh in North East River, Flinders Island, dominated by Shrubby Glasswort (Tecticornia arbuscula) and Beaded Glasswort (Sarcocornia quinqueflora)
Grassy saltmarsh in Scamander River on the east coast of Tasmania, dominated by Sea Rush (Juncus kraussii) and Chaffy Sawsedge (Gahnia filum) with Beaded Glasswort understorey.
