A tidal marshland which shared the same site number as Benfleet Creek and as such was also important for saltings, plants and insects. Land reclamation, rubbish dumping and natural erosion have all affected the original site in the years since it was selected by the SPNR as being 'worthy of preservation'. The RSPB now has a nature reserve on Canvey Island at West Canvey Marshes.
