Eco-moorings need more than good intentions.🌿⚓
At Studland Bay, some of the seagrass scars caused by traditional anchoring have reduced by more than 90%. The UK’s largest eco-mooring site is clearly making a difference.
But around half of boaters using it are not paying the modest £7.50 four-hour or £15 overnight fee needed to help maintain the scheme.
These moorings protect the seabed while keeping this special part of Dorset accessible to boats. If we use them, we need to support them.
