In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.

GARDINER Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2015 [ii] UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND THE ENVIRONMENT SCHOOL OF CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Doctor of Philosophy PHYSICAL DRIVERS OF SALTMARSH CHANGE IN ENCLOSED ESTUARIES Sarah C. Gardiner Estuaries are among the most biologically productive ecosystems on the planet, per unit area, with intertidal habitats and particularly saltmarshes providing a variety or ecosystem services and supporting large numbers of both primary and secondary producers. These habitats are globally important and are found throughout tropical to temperate climates. Micro-tidal estuaries are found throughout the world and particularly sensitive to sea-level rise, as they are limited in their ability to adjust and are considered vulnerable to future changes .Hence, at a broad scale, understanding the drivers and mechanisms of saltmarsh change in micro-tidal systems is crucial in aiding decision making in future coastal management.
