Saltmarshes are coastal wetlands made up of salt tolerant plants. Found on estuaries, they are flooded during high tide and drained at low tide. They are important habitats for specific wildlife and can perform several useful functions for society.
The panoramic images below were created by Toni Llobet in collaboration with the RESILcoast project, they illustrate saltmarshes at both high and low tide and feature the abundant wildlife and fauna that thrives in this environment.
