Roger Wardle, Senior Advisor for the Lincolnshire Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group designed the scheme said “I am very pleased that we have been able to recreate such an important new area for declining species to once again breed as in times gone by.”

Natural England 's Team Leader for the area, Dean Kirkland said “The creation of the wetland reserve has already been very successful attracting some of the highest numbers of wading birds and wildfowl anywhere in the country. It will give local people somewhere to find out about the important wildlife on their own doorsteps, and attract more visitors to the Lincolnshire Coast . We hope it will become an example of exactly what can be achieved when we work together with the farmers to benefit both wildlife and local communities.”
