The UK's saltmarshes are vital "sinks" that lock away climate-warming greenhouse gases in layers of mud, according to a new report from WWF.

Much of the UK's saltmarshes have been lost to agriculture but the charity says they are unsung heroes in nature's fight against climate change.

It is now calling for these muddy, tidal habitats to be added to the official UK inventory, external of how much carbon is emitted and how much is removed from our atmosphere every year.
