These spectacular coastal habitats are tackling some of the world’s most pressing crises.

They’re biodiversity-bursting, carbon-capturing, flood-busting, water-purifying, economy-boosting and mood-lifting ecosystems.

Saltmarshes have been lost at a staggering rate in the last century, but with proper management and restoration efforts, we can help them burst back to life.
