Seagrass Awareness Boards

In August 2024 the SBMP unveiled 8 navigation and seagrass awareness boards at marinas across the local area.

The boards help recreational boat users to identify the marine protected area, seagrass beds and voluntary no anchor zone (VNAZ) providing practical tips so everyone can navigate and minimise any damage through anchoring and have a greater understanding of where the 87 eco-moorings are located for public use.

Funded as part of the Marine Management Organisation’s (MMO) FaSS grant awarded to the partnership in 2024, the design of the boards reflect those installed by the RYA’s environment programme The Green Blue but on a local, Studland specific level. 

The partnership is once again offering marinas and yacht clubs the opportunity to book in a friendly and informative talk from the boating members of our Steering Group, all about Studland and the work of the SBMP over the coming months.  Interested in booking?  Please contact Project Office Sara.
