By the sea - a guide to the coastal zone of Atlantic Canada. Module 5, Tidal mudflats / main authors, Mark Butler [and six others]. : Fs23-289/1996-5E-PDF

"Mudflats are places where nutrients and sediments from other areas are deposited. Mudflats usually occur in association with estuarine environments and salt marshes. Both of these are environments where sediments are primarily deposited and are protected in some way. The mudflat can be the starting point for a salt marsh, providing the initial sediment for the establishment of saltmarsh plants. The top of the mudflat may, in fact, be ringed with a variety of salt marsh species, such as the cord-grasses and sedges`. ... Mudflats in the Maritimes of Atlantic Canada occur primarily at the head of the Bay of Fundy in the Minas Basin and Chignecto Bay. Small pockets of mudflat associated with small salt marshes, protected coves and estuaries also exist in the lower Bay of Fundy, along the Northumberland shore of New Brunswick, and in Newfoundland.`--page 4.
