Description

The primary aim of this project is to restore 0.8ha of shingle on a series of four islands within our Medmerry nature reserve by mechanical clearance and redepositing the top 20cm of shingle to form fresh, bare substrate.  This will be accompanied by the cutting of a buffer layer of vegetation to ground level next to the shingle, the cutting of patches in a further area beyond this, and installation of removable fence posts for a seasonal predator exclusion fence. Amphibious plant machinery will most likely be needed for access. Full details can be found on the attached documents. This project is being funded and delivered as part of the Solent Seascape Project, an ambitious 5 year project that aims to deliver significant seascape scale nature restoration within the Solent. Along with other elements nationally, they also form part of our Species Coastal and Wetlands Programme.

Medmerry Islands Restoration

The Medmerry nature reserve was created just over a decade ago and covers a large area of coastal realignment, surrounded by farmland, lagoons and supporting habitat. At its centre are four islands created during the ground work phase of the realignment project (before the coastal breach was carried out). These islands were topped with shingle in crescents on their western edge with the purpose of providing habitat for breeding seabirds and shorebirds. These are birds that nest on the ground, laying their eggs directly into small bowl shape that they create on bare shingle or sand. In the first two years after creation, the islands saw interest from breeding little terns (including unconfirmed breeding), Ringed Plover and Oystercatcher. Since this point however, vegetation has steadily increased on the bare shingle until the point of it being unusable for breeding by the designated seabird and shorebird species. As a result, by 2023, only a single pair of Oystercatcher nested on these islands. The RSPB are now in a position via the Solent Seascape Project to restore these areas to bare substrate and set the conditions for a large seabird colony to form. Our aim would see the site utilised by early succession species first (Ringed Plover, Little Tern, Oystercatcher) with the conditions being created for colonisation by Black-headed Gulls, Sandwich Tern and Common Tern.
