The largest estuary in Essex and one of the largest estuarine complexes in East Anglia, the Blackwater Estuary is of international conservation importance and home to hundreds of thousands of wetland birds.
The coastal habitats that make it so special are tidal mudflats, saltmarshes and coastal grazing marsh. The coastal marshes of Essex are disappearing very rapidly (up to 60% of these marshes have been eroded by the sea in the last 20 years). This has major implications, not only for wildlife but also for flood defence, and affects everyone who lives on, visits or values these wild and beautiful places.
