Coastal Salt Marsh

Caption

A narrow strip of coastal salt marsh on the UK east coast (near Orford, Suffolk) where inland migration is inhibited by the presence of a sea dike. Global sea level rise will further squeeze this salt marsh and eventually drown it, unless additional accommodation space is created for the marsh to migrate inland.
