Secrets of the Solent
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust Secrets of the Solent – Marine Wildlife Wonders was a talk about the Solent's amazing marine species and habitats, the pressures that they face, and how to get involved in protecting their future. The Solent is a fascinating and special marine environment, home to a wide range of weird and wonderful species. At this talk the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust uncovered the Solent's underwater world, from elusive cuttlefish to majestic, fast disappearing seagrass meadows, so important for carbon capture.
