In 2011, the Environment Agency published the first saltmarsh national inventory mapped from aerial imagery captured between 2006 and 2009. Since then, approximately 95% of saltmarsh in England has been remapped using imagery captured predominantly between 2016 and 2019.
This report examines the overall picture of change in marsh extent between these time periods in England, providing detail of zonation and several in-depth case studies from different regions around the country.
