Threatened freshwater habitats
Incidence:
Freshwater habitats are, in the strictest sense, environments with water that has less than 0.5% salt concentration. In practice, this refers to rivers, streams, creeks, springs, lakes and some ponds and marshes. The interface between freshwater water courses or lakes and the terrestrial landscape is called the riparian zone.
