		We assessed the extent of tidal freshwater wetlands in the upper tidal Delaware River.
		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).
