The Chikot Swamp is a wetland featuring permanent inundation of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water. This swamp generally has a substantial number of hammocks, or dry-land protrusions, covered by aquatic vegetation. This swamp is different than most because it holds freshwater in some spots while others hold saltwater. This is a mystery how it was able to collect both, but it makes a great place for many to live in.
