Estuary is a photographic essay of the Humber and the challenges it faces. The beauty of the big skies, the ever changing light and the fluidity of water is a constant. However climate change, brought about in part by some of the key industries on this huge estuary, is threatening the environment and the human and wild life that are a part of it. The race is on to make changes and this photographic essay seeks to show the beauty and challenges the Humber faces.
