Welsh salt marsh blocks much-prized coastal path | Letter

Wales is rightly proud of achieving a footpath all the way round its coast. This project has sabotaged that, say Neil Wilson, Bob Denley and Guto ap Gwent

Your article on the new salt marsh at Cwm Ivy on Gower (Gyr) (It wasn't pretty at first': the Welsh wildlife haven born out of disaster, 10 May) was one-sided and contained many questionable statements.

The Gower peninsula (Penrhyn Gyr) is a beautiful area and strenuous efforts are made to keep it this way. Wales is rightly proud of achieving a footpath all the way round its coast. This project has sabotaged both. A rare area of freshwater wetland with a site of special scientific interest has been lost, and the Wales coast path has been blocked.
