Brief description

This study was undertaken to examine the ecology and extent of saltmarshes of the Peel-Harvey. The extent and composition of the samphire saltmarshes was investigated over the period of 37 years (from 1957 to 1994), using aerial photography over the whole estuary, and detailed field surveys at ten sites.
