A relic of the past, this old fence in a salt-marsh is a reminder of a previous farming regime. Many low-lying pastures sink lower as a result of oxidization and compaction of the peat soils; and will increasingly be affected by salt water intrusion - especially with the impending rise of sea-levels.
Restoring water levels and planting suitable wetland/saltmarsh species provides a buffer between the farm and the harbour; and strips silt and nutrients out of the run-off from the land.
