Remove sea wall in realignment schemes
Removal of a sea wall or embankment gives the most natural appearance and will
least interfere with the processes that connect the saltmarsh to the mudflat.
| Guidance: Evidence from trial schemes suggests that complete removal
of the flood embankment exposes the site to the full of impact of waves,
which can be counter productive in exposed sites. As a consequence additional
protective measures may be considered including offshore breakwaters (as
at Dengie
where Thames lighters have been used). A breach is a much more frequently
used technique. |
