Primes¶
- Coastal Squeeze
- A worked instance shows the substance: an English salt marsh fifty metres wide between a sea-wall and a high-water mark advancing five millimetres a year, needing twenty metres to support its bird community, has roughly sixty years of viable habitat — and only managed retreat (removing the wall to allow landward migration) preserves it in the long run, because only that removes the fixed rear that is the source of the squeeze.
This sourceQuantifies coastal-squeeze saltmarsh loss against fixed sea defences and managed realignment (sea-wall set-back / removal allowing landward migration) as the durable restoration response.
