The island would be secluded and above the other areas. Geographically, it makes sense because the bog would still have a salt content but due to the seclusion from the rest of the planet's ocean it would follow a different evolutionary track that, in this case resulted in something boglike. Although it isn't actually, by definition, a bog.
