Deben Estuary
Deben Estuary Partnership
Deben has 40% of Suffolk’s saltmarsh
Saltmarsh• Extends from the mean high water of neap tides to the
mean high water of spring tides where only occasional inundations will occur.
• Salt marsh occurs around coasts which have conditions suitable for the net accumulation of sediment and receive shelter from strong wave action.
More saltmarsh in front of sea walls means less money spent on sea wall maintenance!
