Looking for a fast growing border fence shrub.

We live on the Potomac River (brackish water) that occasionally floods a few inches. I need to establish a natural border ranging 80 feet that will grow fast in direct sunlight and not be killed by occasional brackish water. I was thinking Red Tips but I’m concerned that they do best in dry conditions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
