Degree of synergistic effects according to Natura 2000 aims

This measure was about the use of land as a natural flood storage area for the purposes of flood protection. In addition the site led to the creation of new intertidal habitat to compensate for losses elsewhere in the Humber Estuary. Therefore, it is considered that this measure contributes to the protection and conservation of intertidal wetlands within the Internationally Designated Humber Estuary.
