Coastal non-floodplain tree swamps occupy the depressions, drainage lines, dune swales and other low lying areas outside of floodplain systems. They can be found on a complex of remnant Tertiary surfaces and Tertiary sedimentary rocks and Quaternary coastal dunes and seasonally waterlogged sand plains usually fringing drainage system behind beach ridge plains or on old dunes and swales.
