Using Figure 10, state what has happened to the low-lying land behind the breached embankment at high tide.

An aerial photograph of the Steart Peninsula managed realignment scheme in Somerset. The image shows a wide river estuary on one side, with a visible breach (gap) in the earth embankment sea wall. At high tide, seawater has flowed through this breach, completely flooding the low-lying agricultural fields behind gravity defenses, turning them into a network of shallow tidal saltmarshes and mudflats.
