SALTINGS REGENERATION PROJECTS
\n<\/strong>
\nThe Partnership has been working for a number of years on Saltings Regeneration trial projects.\u00a0\u00a0 Salt marsh plants at the toe, or bottom, of the wall help to dissipate the wave action and so help to prevent the wall eroding.\u00a0\u00a0 The aim of the various materials used is to reduce the wave action and allow the sediment to slowly build up to a stage where plants can establish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

FERRY POINT SALTINGS REGNERATION TRIAL IN 20-<\/strong>
\nAt a site just off Ferry Point, opposite Slaughden Quay, there has been a dramatic loss of saltings. This was a small project of a length of 100m where a plasticised mesh (UV resistant) was placed in front of the existing salting to act as a breaker to reduce long term salting damage and to hopefully encourage salting recreation due to the reduction in water flow (to allow the sediment to drop. This project was fully funded by the Sustainable Development Fund and was completed within budget. Authorisation was required from the Environment Agency and Natural England and the project was wholly managed by the landowner.\u00a0 Although the project was small it nevertheless shows that smaller bite size pieces can be carried out by landowners before major damage has occurred.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 COST: \u00a32,185.12<\/strong> Financed by a Sustainable Development Grant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
