Developers said the 11-mile barrage, between Gibraltar Point and Hunstanton, could generate tidal energy and protect homes and businesses from flooding. But conservationists have raised concerns about its potential impact on a sensitive habitat for wildlife. Centre Port said it planned to create the "world's first tidal energy-powered deep sea container terminal", which would have the capacity to handle up to four million containers annually.The project would act as a flood defence scheme for communities in Norfolk, the Fens and parts of Lincolnshire, protecting against land-side flooding and tidal surges, the company said.
