Abstract

In Great Britain there have been several proposals in recent years for the construction of freshwater reservoirs in bays and estuaries. Two of these have been the subject of feasibility studies. The results of the ecological parts of these studies on Morecambe Bay and the Wash are outlined, particularly in relation to salt marshes, intertidal invertebrates, waders, wildfowl and commercial fisheries. A feasibility study of the Dee estuary water storage schemes had less ecological input, and this is referred to briefly.
