The Red Hills of Essex: Salt-making in Antiquity

Product Information

The Saltmarsh Coast is an important wildlife habitat, with plenty ofopen spaces, tidal estuaries, traditional villages and historic towns. It is the perfect destination to stretch your legs and discover something new. Langley said that while it’s still early days, she hopes her sausages will prove useful and can be deployed to stabilize marshes elsewhere.

Along the coastline of the Maldon District, five Saltmarsh Coast Hubs have been installed.Providingthe opportunityto learninterestingfacts about this fascinating part of theEssexCoast, thehubscan be found at Tollesbury, Heybridge Basin, Bradwell-on-Sea and Burnham-on-Crouch. Our drivers will continue to help customers who require assistance, such as carrying the salt in to a garage, but only at the driver’s discretion. On top of these historical threats, accelerated sea level rise due to climate change now threatens marshes around the world. With sea levels rising on one side and man-made seawalls, farms or buildings on the other, a phenomenon known as coastal squeeze occurs. The marshes become overwhelmed with salt water, yet cannot expand inland. Fencing is an affordable and low-impact intervention commonly used to protect marshes, and it’s showing strikingly visible results here. The program monitors and compares a grazed pasture with two former pastures that have been reverting naturally to marsh behind cattle-excluding fences, one for 12 years the other for two years. The 12-year-old restored marsh is bright with vegetation, and the grazed land covered in low grass. Rust Out softener rust remover chemically removes iron and rust build-up that coats the resin beds and fouls the softener. This iron build-up is not totally removed during normal regeneration of a water softener. Using Rust Out softener rust remover in a water softener will eliminate rust and foreign matter from the resin bed which increases the life of the softener and reduces rust staining on household fixtures and other surfaces. We recommend using the softener rust remover regularly as preventative maintenance to ensure the softening and recharging efficiency of the softener’s resin bed. Additionally, in applications where iron is present you can use our well water formula to fight annoying rust stains.We are a family business, whose loyal staff choose to work for PureSalt because we put people first.

PDV Salt It just shows the power of the fence,” Wartman said. “If you prevent cattle from going on and heavily grazing and trampling the salt marsh, it can, if there’s enough of a seedling population, naturally regenerate.” PureSalt is the UK’s leading salt distributor, supplying thousands of tonnes of salt to businesses and homes every year.

We can also guarantee the most competitive prices available for the best brands of salt.

But weeds do manage to colonize some salt marshes, including the Great Brak Estuary on the southern coast of South Africa. The teams monitor vegetation establishment and the amount of carbon being stored in the sediment, and they use drone images to assess how the sausages might be affecting the channels and their ability to buffer incoming tides. Salt marshes sequester significant carbon in their sediment — more per hectare than tropical rainforests. The salt used to produce Aquasol and Biasoft granular salt is over 99% pure and internationally recognised in the standard for chemicals in the treatment of water intended for human consumption. The salt is manufactured in the UK. The salt is perfect for use in domestic and light commercial water softeners. Safir Tablet Salt

Burnham'squayside is home to numerous pubs, cafés, and houseboats, as well as museums. Walking along the quay, you will pass Riverside Park, sailing clubs, and the RNLI lifeboat station. From Burnham Yacht Harbour, you can alsotake the ferry over to Wallasea Island. At Essex Salt Ltd, we aim to be as open and transparent as possible with our users about the personal data we collect to provide that service, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.

Sea levels have been rising by 3.6 mm (an eighth of an inch) per year in the past decade; the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that rate will increase to 15 mm (0.6 in) per year by 2100 if current greenhouse gas emissions continue. Free delivery is defined as to the curb at the nearest public highway, and due to the weight of the products, does not include any re-delivery attempts. If no one is available at the property when we deliver, the driver will leave them on your property at their discretion (or in a location you request), or at the highway boundary, without signature and at your own risk. As with the Essex estuary, hope comes in the form of returning birds. The project has had a victory in the sighting of a rare orange-bellied parrot ( Neophema chrysogaster). With fewer than 50 left in the wild, the parrot is at risk of extinction within five years. The data Wartman’s team is collecting show signs that salt marshes can recover from their conversion to agricultural use.

Our Water Softener Salt delivery service now covers all of Essex, and most of East London and East Herts. Governments, institutions and researchers around the world are looking into low-cost ways to protect and restore these vulnerable and valuable habitats. Smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora) was first observed there in 2004. The species, native to the Americas’ east coast, has been planted for erosion control outside its range, where it often proves invasive. Before 2004, it had never been seen in South Africa, and its discovery in the Great Brak Estuary caused alarm. It takes over and outcompetes the less productive estuarine species, so you often have a loss of your native salt marsh species,” said Johan Wasserman, a research assistant at Nelson Mandela University. “It changes food webs and the type of food available.” These factors have led marshes to decline globally from their historic extent by between 25 and 50%. When coastal squeeze occurs, the marshes become overwhelmed with salt water, yet cannot expand inland. Information source: Hampshire County Council via Coastal Wiki.
