This map shows the area included in the proposed coastal habitat restoration project. The project boundary identifies the project area, within which all construction and environmental works will take place. The brown line shows the route of the proposed new embankment, which will provide a new line of flood protection. The yellow markers indicate the two proposed breach locations where openings will be created in the existing sea wall, allowing tidal water to flow into the site. As seawater gradually re-enters the area, the land behind the current sea wall will naturally develop into mudflat and saltmarsh habitat, creating valuable space for wildlife and helping the coastline adapt to future sea-level rise.
