Cowleds Landing Sanctuary Zone 1 & 2

Sanctuary Zone 1

The Cowleds Landing Sanctuary Zone protects mangroves, tidal creeks, saltmarsh, sand and mud flats, soft bottom and seagrass. At this Pix Stix we are monitoring any shift in saltmarsh vegetation caused by sea level rise.

Sanctuary Zone 2

At this Pix Stix site we are monitoring recruitment of mangroves in response to rising sea levels and observe 'coastal squeeze phenomenon' affecting shrubby samphires.
