Resumen:
A classification of tidal streams observed incoastal wetlands is proposed to unify criteriaon the geomorphology of these mostimportant features . Streams are differentiatedin: a) tidal rills , b) tidal groves, c) tidal gullies,d) tidal creeks, and e) tidal channels.Furthermore, four examples of mechanismsof tidal creek and grove initiation on salt andfreshwater marshes are presented in which theinteraction between plants, crabs, fish withthe geomorphology and currents are majorfactors on their formation as well asgroundwater flow in some of them.
