Sunset over the saltmarsh of Hayling Island. This section of saltmarsh on the Northney shore, just east of the Hayling Bridge, is a favourite one. Soon the Brent Geese will be feeding in the winter chill.

The green menace has returned to parts of the Solent harbours. Excessive nutrients from agricultural runoff & sewage, + warm, sheltered water bodies = an algal mass.

We are extremely concerned to hear that consent has been given to Berwick Bank Offshore Wind Farm, which will be one of the world's largest such developments, sited in an internationally important area for seabirds.

A dark day for Scotland’s seabirds.
We're incredibly concerned that Scottish Government have granted consent for the Berwick Bank offshore windfarm, which could catapult some of our most vulnerable species toward extinction 🚨
We will carefully scrutinise the details and consider our next steps.
