Salt marshes are found in temperate zones, between the equator and the 30th parallel in both hemispheres, while mangrove swamps are found in tropical and subtropical zones.

Option C is incorrect because it suggests that mangrove swamps are found at high latitudes, which is not correct. Option D is incorrect because salt marshes can be highly productive despite their salinity.
