Plants adapted for fresh water environments grow around waterways and swamps. Typical plants that can be found in these areas are the common reed and the cattail. Following the waterways, the reeds make their way into the lagoon along the channels. In the northern part of the lagoon, fresh water marsh vegetation thrive in brackish water environments which are rich in species that can adapt and live in brackish habitat.

		Phragmites Australis				Lytrum Salicavia

A plant which typically grows in fresh water areas or brackish water transition areas. It densely populates banks along rivers and canals that empty out either into the lagoon or into wetlands and ponds looking onto the lagoon		This plant has intense red-purple flowers and is typical of flooded wetland environments

		Cladium Mariscus

Saw Grass is typical of fresh water ponds near the lagoon. Most of these areas have disappeared because of the extensive reclaiming of the wetlands for agriculture and tourism
