Saltmarsh channel
Channel in a saltmarsh. Saltmarshes are coastal wetlands that are naturally flooded and drained by seawater as the tide comes in and out. This type of land is a natural buffer against flooding, harbours diverse ecosystems and acts as an effective carbon sink. 100 square metres of saltmarsh can capture two tonnes of carbon a year and lock it into sediments for centuries., by SIMON BOOTH/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
