Strategic Plan

Baseline Information


Lymington is losing its salt marsh. 

Lymington Harbour Commissioners have recently concluded construction of Phase 1 of a long term Harbour Protection scheme to protect the Harbour as the marshes are lost.   NFDC has been monitoring the loss of marshes in the Solent over many years.

There are 6 papers relating to this - all pdf format and some quite large and unsuitable for non broadband "surfers" (see links)

Lymington Harbour Sea Defence Leaflet (First published in October 2007 - please note that this leaflet contains a request to support the LHC's protection scheme proposal. Since this initiative has now begun, the support is not now required)
