NEW FOOTAGE OF HARBOUR MARINE LIFE

NEW FOOTAGE OF HARBOUR MARINE LIFE
Exciting new footage of life under the waves of Chichester Harbour will be shown this month.
The film was taken recently as part of a sub-tidal survey funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. A team of divers went down in various places in Chichester Harbour recording the species found and taking video. The survey revealed the wealth of life under our waves. The divers were surprised at the clarity of the water and were able to bring back good images of species including sea squirts, sea anemones, pipefish, sea slugs, oysters and crabs.
The footage is being shown for the first time to the public on Wednesday 23 January. The video will be presented as part of the Harbour Creekies session at the Harbour Education Centre, Dell Quay. The ‘Creekies’ sessions are occasional events for those who want to l earn more about Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from the warmth and dry of the Education Centre.
This month the session will be led by Nicky Horter, Chichester Harbour’s AONB Officer. Nicky said ‘the footage reveals the variety of life in the harbour water’s. It is stunning to see all the plant life, fish and shellfish. The video shows what a fascinating marine environment we have.’
The Harbour Creekies session starts at 10:30am. Entrance is £2 per person to include refreshments and will be on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. If you are unable to make it, clips from the footage can be seen at www.conservancy.co.uk, follow the links from the homepage.
