Haen Mon on Awarded EU Protected Status

Alison Lea-Wilson from Halen Mon said; “We’re absolutely delighted that Halen Mon is the first Welsh PDO status and joins the other greats of Welsh Lamb and Beef and Pembrokeshire Early Potatoes. Consumers can now be 100% sure that when they buy Halen Mon Anglesey Sea Salt they are getting a product which has been harvested and packed in Anglesey.”

Coastal Erosion of Salt Sites and Salt Marshes

The weather in the UK has been very aggressive over the past month with pulses of Atlantic storm surges sweeping across the Atlantic. There has been widespread flooding and coastal erosion. Most spectacularly has been the effect of the waves at Aberystwyth esplanade.
Ecosal-UK is writing round to all our contacts to get an impression about how salt making sites and salt marshes have stood up to the intense effects of high spring tides, deep low pressure systems and storm force SW winds.
If you have any images or observations please send them in to saltmaster@ecosal-uk.org.uk
