This publication is a positive step in building up public awareness about an area of great diversity but beset with the problems of the vulnerability of small islands and the limited resources of micro-nations.

Coastal grazing marsh is flat, low lying pasture which has been reclaimed from target_idal salt marsh by the construction of sea walls. The Thames Estuary grazing marshes are known for the occurrence of nationally uncommon plants and invertabrates, and their ability to support nationally significant populations of breeding and wintering birds. In view of the importance of the Thames Estuary grazing marsh for nature conservation, a study was initiated to examine changes in extent of the habitat and the prevailing land use pressures. Historical data sources were used to estimate and map the extent of grazing marsh in 1935, 1968, 1972 and 1981. Field survey was undertaken in 1989 to provide up-to-date data.

Twenty-eight biologists, managers, and decision makers attended a Population Viability Assessment (PVA) Workshop at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Glen Rose, Texas on 22-24 October, 1990 to apply these recently developed procedures to the captive and wild populations and the reintroduction of the Mexican wolf. The Captive Breeding Specialist Group, the Canid and Wolf Specialist Groups of the IUCN/Species Survival Commission were asked to collaborate in this PVA workshop to assist the recovery effort. The purpose was to review data from the wild population as a basis for developing stochastic population simulation models.
