ThePorlock Ridge and Saltmarsh page would be better included as a section in this article. --Alastair Rae (talk)16:13, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As the person who started both articles, I agree it seems reasonable to merge these articles, but could I suggest that the SSSI infobox used onPorlock Ridge and Saltmarsh is retained in the merged article as it provides additional information which is not available onPorlock Bay and fits with the rest of the articles inList of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset which I was working on when I created the original SSSI article.—Rod^talk08:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
