Beaver in tidal habitat: Examples from the Pacific Northwest

Caption

Beaver dam and pond in the Snohomish Estuary’s Quilceda marsh (48.05° N, 122.19° W). Note shrubs and spruce trees in background, tidal sedge (Carex lyngbyei) in the foreground. A log has drifted in on a higher high tide and has come to rest on the side of the beaver dam. The pond is waist to chest deep with an accumulation of soft, unconsolidated sediments. During higher high tides water reaches the marsh surface. Photo by the author (Figure S1).
