Solent Habitats
The Solent Forum has prepared a Solent Habitat Information Pack which includes a series of habitat sheets for all the coastal and marine habitats found in the Solent. These can be downloaded from the publications section of the Solent Forum website. They explain what the habitat is, the species supported, the social and economic value, the locations in which it is found around the Solent and the current issues, threats and opportunities. This work has been led by the Forum's Nature Conservation Subgroup.
