Visiting the site near Havant, Hampshire, today (12 March), Environment Secretary Steve Reed highlighted the reservoir as a prime example of how £104 billion in private sector investment into water—the largest since privatisation—is driving forward major infrastructure projects and creating over 30,000 jobs across the country.

The Miyawaki planting method was originally developed in Japan in the 1970s and typically involves high density planting in specially prepared soil. Although almost unknown in the UK a few years ago, this planting method has proven to be a great way to establish young trees in areas where conditions aren't ideal for planting — for example, in poor soil.

]]> This report provides an update of analysis conducted as part of the CHASM (Crustacean, Habitats and Sediment Movement) project carried out by the University of Southampton in summer 2024. It seeks to understand environmental change from a sediments perspective, and sets out to answer a series of questions using various data sources and analysis. The questions are:
1. What sediments make up the seabed and has this changed overtime?
2. What is the water quality (temperature, turbidity etc.) like within the study site and
has it changed overtime?
3. What are the sources of (fine) sediment in the system and has their magnitude
changed over time?
4. How might what we have learnt about the sediment system have influenced the
decline in crab and lobster populations

]]> How does the sea benefit our health and wellbeing? Have you ever gazed out at the sea and felt the world become smaller? Perhaps you have swum in its waters and felt that time stood still, that the noise and chatter of the world faded away to a distant whisper, or you have marvelled as the sun slid gently beneath its horizon.

Being near natural bodies of water, especially the sea, has proven health benefits. This effect has been dubbed “blue health”.

The following article by ‘The Conversation’ looks at how the sea has been important to us humans since the beginnings of life itself, and how connecting with nature benefits us in so many ways:
