Figure 3.34: Land based picture of the Humber Estuary in Britain showing extensive internal mudflats that are the result of large tidal range, 5.9 m at the mouth of the estuary and 7.2 km approximately 35 km farther inland. These mudflats provide important feeding and roosting grounds for numerous migratory and wintering fowl as well as nursery habitat for numerous fish. Humans have been modifying the lands in and around the estuary for more than 2000 years, and it is estimated that approximately 50% of the intertidal lands in the estuary have been lost.
