The wetlands support over 155 different bird species, including 29 which gather in"internationally important numbers" and many of which are endangered.AdvertisementThe application was submitted in response to a government review of potential sites and is led by the RSPB, and supported by the National Trust, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, several councils and The Crown Estate.
The proposed boundary of the site is defined by existing nature conservation areas covering 170,000 hectares of coastline from the Humber estuary in the North to the Thames in the South.James Robinson, Director of Conservation, Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, said: “This bid recognises the incredible value of wetlands for nature, people and the planet.
