It borders the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve which was designated under theRamsarConvention as a wetland habitat of international importance and a special protection area.
TheRamsarConvention recognises that wetlands occupy a key position in this interconnectivity and that the wise use of wetlands is essential for the delivery of sustainable water management.
UNESCO-IHP through its networks and partners actively contributes to the implementation of theRamsarConvention in particular by identifying and inventorying transboundary aquifers and groundwater dependent ecosystems that are vital for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
