Rye Harbour National Nature Reserve :: Shared Description

Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is one of the largest and most important wildlife sites in England, set in an exceptional coastal and wetland landscape and home to 4,335 varieties of plants and animals including more than 300 rare or endangered species.
In 2011, Sussex Wildlife Trust took over management of the reserve, which covers over a thousand acres of flat, open, low-lying ground.
The high points are the crests of shingle storm ridges, built up by tides and storms. The low points are between the ridges where saltmarsh has developed.
Sea defences built over the last 100 years have reduced the influence of the sea, and a drainage system empties water into the rivers, lowering the water table. This means grazing can take place on the reserve.
Within the nature reserve we have a wide variety of different habitats, including:
- intertidal (the area above water level at low tide and underwater at high tide)
- saltmarsh
- shingle ridges
- sand
- marsh
- scrub
- woodland
