The importance of UK saltmarshes
A report showing the importance of saltmarshes and what these ecosystems do for our climate, published in partnership with Aviva.
The Importance of UK Saltmarshes presents findings from a ‘carbon flux tower’ installed on the Ribble Estuary in Lancashire, revealing that saltmarshes are carbon sinks and can therefore significantly contribute to the UK’s climate and net zero goals.
The report was produced in collaboration with the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and RSPB.
