IMO Swamp is more of a catch all term for any type of marshland and is usually used in a derogatory manner (though I use it with affection) a marsh usually has good water flow and government protections, while a bog tends to be older marshland with stagnant, brackish water. There is a detailed classification system: The five wetland "classes" are differentiated by their developmental characteristics and the environment in which they exist. The five classes are: bog, fen, marsh, swamp, and shallow water. Some wetlands accumulate peat (partially-decomposed organic matter) and are called peatlands. Bogs and fens are the dominant peatland classes in Alberta, although some swamps and marshes can also accumulate peat. In contrast, shallow open water wetlands and many marshes and swamps do not accumulate peat. http://www.wetlandpolicy.ca/canadian-wetland-classification-system --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking.
