These designations have been awarded both to Old Hall Marshes and to the Blackwater and Essex Estuaries for a range of wildlife features including internationally important numbers of wintering waders and wildfowl, the range of salt marsh plant and invertebrate species, and scarce breeding bird species such as redshank and pochard.
