Langley said that while it’s still early days, she hopes her sausages will prove useful and can be deployed to stabilize marshes elsewhere. Our delivery area covers all of Essex, and parts of Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and East London in the following post code areas:

Free delivery is defined as to the curb at the nearest public highway, and due to the weight of the products, does not include any re-delivery attempts. If no one is available at the property when we deliver, the driver will leave them on your property at their discretion (or in a location you request), or at the highway boundary, without signature and at your own risk. It just shows the power of the fence,” Wartman said. “If you prevent cattle from going on and heavily grazing and trampling the salt marsh, it can, if there’s enough of a seedling population, naturally regenerate.” Sea levels have been rising by 3.6 mm (an eighth of an inch) per year in the past decade; the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that rate will increase to 15 mm (0.6 in) per year by 2100 if current greenhouse gas emissions continue. Smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora) was first observed there in 2004. The species, native to the Americas’ east coast, has been planted for erosion control outside its range, where it often proves invasive. Before 2004, it had never been seen in South Africa, and its discovery in the Great Brak Estuary caused alarm.

Governments, institutions and researchers around the world are looking into low-cost ways to protect and restore these vulnerable and valuable habitats. While our deep understanding of the production and logistics challenges facing the salt producers and importers, has enabled us to maintain salt supply to PureSalt’s customers in even the most trying of circumstances. As a result we are trusted to supply customers such as the NHS, the University of Cambridge, leading hotels and leisure centres. Commercial & Domestic Correction 9/14/21: This story was updated to correct a quote from Melissa Wartman, who spoke about preventing cattle from “trampling” salt marsh, not “traveling” it as the story originally stated. PureSalt is the UK’s leading salt distributor, supplying thousands of tonnes of salt to businesses and homes every year. We use our in-depth understanding and industry knowledge to select salt products that we know are outstanding quality, suitable for both domestic and commercial use. We can also guarantee the most competitive prices available for the best brands of salt. We can’t wait for action when it comes to climate change, we need to be innovative and be trialing different approaches now,” she said.

On top of these historical threats, accelerated sea level rise due to climate change now threatens marshes around the world. With sea levels rising on one side and man-made seawalls, farms or buildings on the other, a phenomenon known as coastal squeeze occurs. The marshes become overwhelmed with salt water, yet cannot expand inland. Deliveries being made by our partners including Royal Mail and the Pallet delivery network are currently unaffected but may have some slight changes to services. The Saltmarsh Coast is an important wildlife habitat, with plenty ofopen spaces, tidal estuaries, traditional villages and historic towns. It is the perfect destination to stretch your legs and discover something new. In the face of climate change, the sausages are among various interventions that researchers are testing for their ability to help protect and regenerate one of the world’s most threatened habitat types.Rust Out softener rust remover chemically removes iron and rust build-up that coats the resin beds and fouls the softener. This iron build-up is not totally removed during normal regeneration of a water softener. Using Rust Out softener rust remover in a water softener will eliminate rust and foreign matter from the resin bed which increases the life of the softener and reduces rust staining on household fixtures and other surfaces. We recommend using the softener rust remover regularly as preventative maintenance to ensure the softening and recharging efficiency of the softener’s resin bed. Additionally, in applications where iron is present you can use our well water formula to fight annoying rust stains. A 2018 paper studied changes in the U.K.’s salt marshes in response to relative sea level rise, which includes both oceanic changes, such as increasing water volume due to melting ice caps, and terrestrial changes, such as land subsidence. It concluded that if no change was made to greenhouse gas emissions, nearly all of the U.K.’s salt marshes would have at least an 80% likelihood of retreating inland by 2100. Marshes in areas more prone to subsidence in the south could reach that probability by 2040. And where coastal squeeze prevents marshes from retreating, they’ll be lost to the sea.
