Heritage, Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services: Coastal Grazing Marshes
Author(s): Maria Medlycott
Place Services of Essex County Council was commissioned by Historic England to undertake an assessment of the Essex coastal grazing marshes using Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services methodologies, in order to establish how the historic environment could be accommodated within the existing frameworks. Coastal grazing marshes are a distinctive and complex historic landscape of national significance both for their ecological and historic environment assets. The project tested how existing natural capital and ecosystem services methodologies can be used in ascribing values to historic environment assets associated with coastal grazing marshes in order to protect the historic environment within future environmental policy. The nationally-important marshes of Old Hall (RSPB) and Tollesbury Wick (EWT) have been used as case-studies for the project
