		The North and South branches join near Rancocas State Park, approximately 3 mi (5 km) west of Mount Holly, near the crossing of the New Jersey Turnpike.
		The combined stream flows 5 mi (8 km) northwest past Willingboro and joins the Delaware from the east at Riverside, where it is crossed by the Riverside-Delanco Bridge.

		Although low marsh biomass at Mantua Creek appeared higher than at Rancocas Creek, these means were not significantly (t-test, p>0.05) different from each other because of high variability among replicates at Mantua.
		To estimate the geographical extent of EAV biomass within the designated upstream and downstream river segments of the Delaware Estuary, we sought to calculate a universally applicable average or median EAV biomass for either the low marsh or high marsh, since the remote sensing data were limited to that level of sensitivity.
		As with the nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus calculations, the higher rates were calculated in sections of the river with highest areas of high and low marsh area (e.g., Rancocas Creek, Darby Creek and Mantua Creek).
