Wetland Vision Future Potential Wetlands

A 50 year Vision for England's Wetland Landscape: Securing a future for nature, people and the historic environment
The Wetland Vision is to restore wetlands for the benefit of society through the conservation of their biodiversity, the preservation of the historic environment and other benefits such as flood mitigation and carbon sequestration. This layer shows where future wetlands have the greatest potential to benefit biodiversity and the historic environment, and where we should be looking for a range of other socio-economic benefits. These will be the main areas within which we would be looking for significant opportunities for wetland creation and restoration, but other opportunities outside these areas should not be ignored, and can be informed and developed by local data and partnerships. The data shown are based on an amalgamation of priority areas for wildlife and the historic environment.
Our coast will be impacted by rising sea levels. Adjacent land is therefore unlikely to support new freshwater wetlands in the future, but could support more naturally functioning wetland with both freshwater and brackish habitat present. This map indicates priorities, but should not be viewed in fine detail.
