Description | This was a structure built in 2008/9 in collaboration with The River Deben Association, for which my role was instigator, planner, project manager and builder, with some help and logistical support from other parties. The aim was to develop an initiative that would foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for an estuary environment by the local community. The structure is a hundred metre brushwood wall built to mitigate the effects of erosion on an area of saltmarsh on the ebb tide. |
