Suttles’ Rock Armour from Swanworth Quarry was used as a buffer around the perimeter of the site to provide protection to the newly created ponds and mud flats, ensuring the ecosystems were not disturbed.
The rock armour helps to trap and slow the flow of water to prevent any removal of sediment from within the mudflats or ponds. Since installation the area has been clear of flooding and species have managed to make a strong foothold in developing their habitats on the mudflats.
