An Estuary of Contrasts
The Severn Estuary is a huge diverse area with fascinating natural, cultural and geographical features. These pages are designed to give you a flavour of the estuary and act as a resource for further study with links and contacts to other groups involved with the Estuary.
Why
is it here?
The landscape and geology of the estuary, how it formed and how it is constantly
changing.
The
estuary as home
It's long history, which stretches back to prehistoric times, much of it
revealed in detail by the quality of archaeological preservation. Its cultural
development and relevance to modern life and the future.
Severn
Wildlife
The diverse wildlife and habitats created by the confluence of land, river
and sea. Why they are special and how are they protected?
Tidal Power Resource Page
Few people interested in the Severn estuary and the surrounding area
can be unaware of the debate about harnessing the power of the tides.
It is the biggest issue currently affecting the estuary and one which
the Severn Estuary Partnership is keen to see properly debated.
