The Solent, one of the UK’s busiest waterways, faces intense pressure from overuse, pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Over 50% of its saltmarsh is gone, seagrass beds are in poor condition, and native oyster populations have declined by 95%, impacting biodiversity, carbon storage, water quality, and coastal protection. The Solent Seascape Project, led by Blue Marine and partners, aims to restore 29 hectares of key habitats and develop a long-term seascape recovery plan. Valued at £1.1 billion annually, the Solent’s ecosystems are crucial. This project will drive large-scale restoration and climate resilience through nature-based solutions.
