I have seen this a couple of times on TV today.  The article is good stuff, until you get about half way through it.  I quite agree that the Broads may well revert back to how it was in Roman times, especially if we don't spend enough resources in maintaining it in its present condition.  It would be the final proof of the Great Estuary Theory!

I really don't see, however, that improving our carbon footprint with electric day boats from Wroxham is going to stop the sea level rising by a metre!  I have a feeling there may be a few more natural factors involved than that!  I am interested to see that James Knight says they have had 2 electric day boats there for the last 20 years.  Is that all?  I think perhaps that, in itself, says it all!

I fear that all this is just to justify the existence of the new carbon footprint officer, or whatever official title he reposes under.

I found the article to be a typical BBC misinformed back packing exercise.

At least with electric boats they will be able to control the speed and prevent speeding i hope they get low wash hulls to stop erosion. they also need to get planners to allow reed instead of wheat straw. John
