Hovercraft Survey

Coastal Partners – Intertidal habitat survey

1.         Mariners are advised that Coastal Partners has commissioned Ocean Ecology Ltd (previously Ecospan Environmental Ltd) to undertake a survey of the intertidal habitats. This survey is to inform the potential for saltmarsh restoration in this area.

2.         The survey is being undertaken from a 5-metre hovercraft and will cover the area between Langstone Village and Warblington in Chichester Harbour. The hovercraft will launch from the slipway at the Ship Inn – Langstone.

3.         Due to the operating constraints of the hovercraft it will on occasions exceed the 8-knot speed limit.

4.         The surveys will be undertaken between 16th and 19th September. Operations will take place between 3- hours before and up to 3-hours after low water.
