Blog readers may have seen or heard press items about
the future of the beach at Hoylake, in particular whether the efforts to remove
the grass should continue or not. We have put forward the case that the rising
beach levels are a natural process, carrying on the accretion in the Dee
estuary that has been continuous since the last Ice Age, and is getting
increasingly expensive to fight.
Allowing the development of salt marsh and
sand dune, as in our Red Rocks nature reserve, would benefit plants,
invertebrates and Natterjack toads. It might remove a part of the feeding area
for of the waders, so would not be all gain. Can people who live locally, or
know the area well, please take the time to read items put up by Hoylake
Village Life on the websites below? The Hoylake Village Life people are trying
to stimulate a sensible conversation locally about the issue. Please join in the
conversation, either on line or at public meetings organised by Hoylake Village
Life.
