This long link will take you to a local news story about just such a barrage. It does suggest an impacy for local wading-birds. Any thoughts on what kind of impact this might have?

The Mersey, for example, is a huge tidal estuary. It is much cleaner in recent years than it has been, and a barrage could be a way to further encourage both green energy and biodervisity in the area. These are the things that the BES should be caring about.
