I understand English wetlands to mean primarily fresh water marshes, whereas te salt water equivalent is mudflats.
--------------------

Editor: I don't think "mudflats" should be added here. "Wetland" isn't primarily a freshwater term: wetlands can be freshwater, brackish or saltwater. A mudflat is a particular type of wetland, not the saltwater equivalent of one.

GF likewise defines 湿地 as including 滩地、沼泽、滩涂 etc bordering 江河湖海.

I think /wetland/ is sufficient.
Diff:
# - 濕地 湿地 [shi1 di4] /wetland/
# + 濕地 湿地 [[shi1 di4]] /wetland/mudflats/
