Hi All
Today I took Abby to my beach at Shoreham. I explained that the beach was a nature reserve because of the rare vegetated shingle habitat – special plants
that grow in the pebbles. They can survive with little water, no soil and
survive the strong winds, hot sun and salty sea spray.
Although Steve and the nature reserve team help to look
after the plants and wildlife, they were concerned about how global issues such
as climate change, sea level rise, increase in storms and other issues might
affect this beach. This is why I started my global travels to visit
scientists to find out what they know about the ocean and the damage humans are
doing to the ocean.
Off to Dungeness tomorrow to show Abby where some of the beach shingle travels to because of the sea and wave action. Sea defenses stop some the shingle moving so the beach doesn't get washed away
