Chichester Harbour Conservancy is one of the ten partners in Blue Marine Foundation’s £5m Solent Seascape Project: a five-year project to restore some of the Solent’s most imperiledmarine habitats.
CHaPRoN is very excited to be part of this Solent-wide pioneering restoration project, the first of its kind in the UK. It brings knowledge, passion and experience together which will genuinely benefit marine and coastal wildlife and provide many wider societal benefits on a seascape scale.
CHaPRoN will receive funding towards:
– A Nature Recovery Officer post to support delivery of habitat restoration projects
– A Communications & Engagement Officer post
– The trial of an innovative technique to use maintenance dredgings from marinas to restore saltmarsh in the Harbour
– Seagrass survey work within the Harbour
In addition, being part of this multi-partner project will also lead to wider benefits as we co-deliver an ambitious programme of ecosystem restoration to catalyse seascape scale recovery and maximise the learning over the five-year period. Watch the Solent Seascape Project film to find out more:
