Our long term vision is to protect and restore nature in the Solent
The Solent Seascape Project is a collaborative long term initiative, working to restore multiple habitats across the Solent strait – a diverse estuarine system between the Isle of Wight and mainland England.

We are restoring and reconnecting seagrass, oyster reefs, saltmarsh and seabird nesting habitats across the Solent’s seascape
The project is the first of its kind in the UK: in partnership with ten different organisations, we will work collectively with local communities to co-develop an ambitious recovery plan for the Solent, actively restoring and reconnecting critical coastal habitats to create a thriving, functioning seascape for all.
