A major new coastal wetland is to be created in Essex by the RSPB. This seems to be a major project. It aims to create a salt marsh at Wallasea Island. It is claimed that it will become one Britains most important wildlife sanctuaries. Great news !

1800 acres of salt marsh ! That has to be good for wildlife. This really is good news  |

Saw this on the news this morning. Sounds good for the general environment of the area.

This is EXCELLENT news .... and only just down the road from me Wallasea Island Wild Coast Project - A Proposal for the UK’s Largest Coastal Restoration Project
With the Rainham Marsh, Vange Marsh and Canvey West acquisitions, Essex is finally appearing on the RSPB map and our coastal landscapes and wildlife are getting the habitat management and protection that they deserve.
