Weymouth Harbour has a strategic vision of “Thriving Dorset harbours at the heart of our communities”. To achieve this, our goal is to work in partnership with our stakeholders and actively engage and support opportunities to enhance and protect the natural environment.
The SeaHive project provides an opportunity to increase the diversity and density of marine life in the local area and support the local fishing industry.
SeaHives use recycled fishing nets in their manufacture, they provide a tangible example of the ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ message being promoted in local Primary Schools, and the wider Weymouth community.
Having successfully deployed the SeaHives in April underneath the Pleasure Pier, we are looking forward to observing how the ecology of the SeaHives develops, and the broader benefits that they may bring by providing a safe haven where there was none before.
