I've been looking at The Saltings, the tidally flooded area of Hayle Estuary for nigh on 60 years now. It strikes me that it is getting more and more shallow as the years go on. Fair enough it is little or no use except as an area of outstanding beauty and as a bird sanctuary but what happens when it's no longer flooded by the tide and the birds and wildlife are all lost. Will someone have a monster moan at the RSPB for allowing the habitat to be destroyed. Hayle estuary is looking very much in need of dredging despite the sluicing that goes on. It won't be many years before there is no estuary or harbour in my view if some remedial action isn't taken. Has the sluicing done any good or should it be done when the tide has completely dropped and the waterways can be properly scoured by both the Carnsew reservoir and the Copperhouse pool
