From a project document from Spain for translation to British English.
"La idea de caño además se emplea para nombrar a un canal marítimo de dimensiones reducidas y a un brazo que forma parte de una marisma (una zona pantanosa que es inundada por el agua del océano). En el caso de las marismas, se puede diferenciar entre el caño madre o principal y los caños secundarios y terciarios."
