Sea levels are rising & the SE is sinking . We need to keep & in fact enlarge marshes , they soak up storm water . Converting a marsh which stores & soaks up flood water , into acres of hard paving , will make future flooding in Kent & Essex more of a problem . Once the marsh has been drained & destroyed it can't just be put back . Building this theme park right on the Thames , on a wildlife reserve , is unnecessary - there are other places which are less important to wildlife & will be less affected by Thames storm surges .
