13 Abbotts Hall farm in Essex was purchased by the Essex WildlifeTrust
with the support of the World Wide Fund for Nature, the Environment Agency,
English Nature, The Wildlife Trusts and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
14 A measure of the difficulty of making these landscape changes to sea
defences is given by the fact that the Essex Wildlife Trust had to obtain over 30
statutory consents, as well as approval through the formal planning process.
15 I am grateful to Eri Nakajima for pointing me to this story of ecological
redesign, and for translating original government material from the Japanese.
