Important areas of consistently occurring reef have been found across The Wash where extensive areas of subtidal mixed sediments in the tide-swept approaches provide the right conditions for reefs to form, particularly in deeper waters. These reefs are an important but understudied feature of both The Wash and North Norfolk Coast (WNNC) SAC…
