WWT (Wildfowl and Wetland Trust) and Aviva are collaborating on a groundbreaking project to restore saltmarshes in the UK, supported by a £21 million investment from Aviva.
This 17-year project, one of the largest of its kind in the UK, aims to restore and manage coastal saltmarsh at a landscape scale, fund research on its benefits, and develop best practice guidelines for saltmarsh creation.
