Wildlife Trust Calls for Offshore Disposal of Brighton Marina Dredging Silt
A wildlife trust has urged that silt from planned dredging work at Brighton Marina be disposed of offshore, as the marina still seeks a site for the material, according to a BBC report.
Brighton Marina is aiming to restart dredging operations next year, but has yet to secure a location for the disposal of the silt that will be removed, according to a report by BBC Science & Environment.
A wildlife trust has called for the dredged silt to be disposed of offshore rather than on land, the report said.
The BBC report did not provide further detail on the specific environmental concerns raised by the trust or on the timeline for identifying a disposal site.
Further details on the marina's dredging plans and the process for selecting a disposal location were not immediately available.
