Crosscanoby Salt Pans - threats from coastal erosion 2019

These three photographs show why the Crosscanonby salt pans require urgent surveying and re-evaluation, and why Ecosal-UK is seeking grant aid to establish a local community project to survey the beach and establish what impact the tides, weather and storms have over a twelve month period.

The work may also suggest what excavation works are required to understand exactly how the salt pans were operated.
