The mileage of salt marshes, wild flowering dunes, mudflats, creeks, pools and meadows are populated with rare vertebrates and invertebrates and an enormity of migrating and resident bird populations. We must strive to reach our global carbon-zero targets so that these salt marshes can continue their environmental task towards combating climate change and coastal erosion. We must take care of our natural resources and ensure that we leave a sustainable planet for future generations to cherish.

Salt marshes are crucial ecosystems that provide essential services to our planet’s carbon emissions and coastal erosion. These salt marshes collect carbon and store it at far greater proficiency than rainforests. Reducing the severity and impact of global warming. The work in this book hopes to encourage policymakers to prioritise the preservation and creation of similar habitats. Investing efforts into the conservation of salt marshes not only benefits climate change but supports wildlife, insect and plant life and our well-being. By working to maintain and enhance these crucial habitats, we can achieve a more sustainable balance between human development and the protection of our natural environment.
