Lymington Harbour的疏浚沉积物正在恢复侵蚀的盐矿,加强沿海保护和海洋生物。 Dredged sediment from Lymington Harbour is restoring eroding saltmarshes, boosting coastal protection and marine life.

英格兰南部Lymington Harbour的疏浚沉积物正被用于恢复腐蚀的盐沼,以保护港口及其经济。 Dredged sediment from Lymington Harbour in southern England is being used to restore eroding saltmarshes that protect the harbour and its economy. 该项目由Lymington Harbour专员和土地与水小组牵头,并得到王室地产和环境局的支持,在最佳高地安置疏浚的泥土,鼓励当地植物重新生长。 The project, led by Lymington Harbour Commissioners and Land & Water Group with support from the Crown Estate and Environment Agency, places dredged mud at optimal elevations to encourage native plant regrowth. 使用经过修改的维多利亚时代拖放箱和现代设备,在2024年部署了800立方米,使植被迅速恢复。 Using modified Victorian-era drag boxes and modern equipment, 800 cubic meters were deployed in 2024, resulting in rapid vegetation recovery. 2025年的后续行动使流动量在较少时间里翻了一番,恢复的地区在冬季过冬,春季蓬勃发展。 A follow-up in 2025 doubled the volume moved in less time, with restored areas surviving winter and thriving in spring. 专家说,这一方法可以在全国推广,对目前在海上倾弃的数百万吨疏浚材料进行再回收,以防治海岸侵蚀和支持生物多样性,因为盐藻维持80%的近海海洋物种。 Experts say the method could be replicated nationally, repurposing millions of tonnes of dredged material currently dumped at sea to combat coastal erosion and support biodiversity, as saltmarshes sustain 80% of inshore marine species.
