The project was managed through a central partnership between the Environment Agency and Essex Wildlife Trust, with additional partners coming on board at different times. These included Natural England, neighbouring landowners and around a hundred volunteers. This project was conceived in 2011 and implemented in 2015 when a 300m breach in the seawall was constructed at Fingringhoe. This landscape-scale conservation project not only enhances biodiversity improvements onsite, but also supports internationally and nationally designated sites. Working in partnership has meant it was possible to create some of the most cost-effective intertidal habitat in the country.
