When considering raising existing sea defences consider that the earth works are critical wildlife sanctuaries for pollinators as they have been pesticide free for decades. The building up of such defences will displace these valuable pollinators, so consideration is needed to create habitat alongside for the pollinators to use whilst the improvements are being made. Otherwise we are at risk of losing these valuables insects. I beewalk the sea defenses alongside Motney Mill, which host many pollinators.
