Healthy Harbours - Sea Level Rise and Coastal Squeeze
Follow Terri the Tern on a trip around the coast of Chichester Harbour to find out how sea level rise is affecting coastal habitats. Learn why saltmarshes and intertidal habitats under threat from "coastal squeeze", being squeezed out and drowned against sea walls as sea levels rise. Terri explains why these habitats are so precious and what we can do to protect and restore them. Animation produced in collaboration by Chichester Harbour Conservancy, Environment Agency and Natural England. Funded by the Environment Agency Sustainable Innovation Fund.

Experience the future of Thorney Island through sound
As you’re led along its coastal path, you'll hear how the landscape may sound as it evolves into thriving coastal saltmarsh and mudflats. Listen out for the rich variety of wildlife and bird species that will make this habitat their home. This unique audio experience offers a glimpse into the future of the landscape and the diverse natural communities it will support. Alongside these sounds of nature are the familiar, sometimes eerie sounds of human activity, from marina rigging to military operations and aircraft passing overhead. Hazel Reeves is an award-winning artist who sculpts with sound, weaving field recordings into immersive soundscapes that tell stories of place, wildlife and ecological change. Her work invites audiences to listen more closely and engage more deeply with the natural world by discovering the unexpected voices of a landscape.
