Sea Wall
Around most of the harbour there is a sea wall, which protects the surrounding land from being flooded with salt water at high tide. At the top of Fishbourne channel there is no sea wall so you can see the natural change in habitats from water to dry land. These are sea water, mudflats, saltmarsh, reed beds, wet meadow and dry land with woodland.
