Like the Amazon, Cleethorpes Saltmarsh is a spectacular landscape that supports a rich variety of plants, birds and other creatures. It also captures and stores polluting carbon dioxide – more so than an area of rainforest the same size. North East Lincolnshire Council has created a new immersive story map to tell the remarkable story of the saltmarsh. Called Life on the Saltmarsh, the online story gives viewers the opportunity to discover more about the vital role the saltmarsh plays and what we can do to protect it. With stunning photographs and interactive maps, the story map shows Cleethorpes Saltmarsh to be a wild, coastal landscape full of natural beauty, but also treacherous with deep, hidden creeks and a fast-incoming tide.
