Abstract

The article discusses environmental issues regarding the construction of the Severn Barrage, a concrete dam stretching across the Severn Estuary in Cardiff, Wales and Weston, England. According to Friends of the Earth (FOE), the construction could destroy up to 60% of the estuary's inter-tidal habitat. Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) commissioner for Wales Peter Davies says the Barrage's feasibility needs to answer critical questions if it is to able to justify the construction.
