After taking shelter from the weather, it was great to get back out and explore one of our #solent coastal areas. Thank you to Emily for educating us on what we can expect to find for the guided walk events!

This has to be the only destination car park. Definitely worth the trip. Love this ATM #wilderSolent The National Lottery Heritage Fund
Spotted one seedling today at our Farlington #Solent SeagrassRestoration site! But both plots were smothered with a think blanket of over-fertilised green algae. We need urgent action on nitrates and sewage in the #Solent , putting efforts to create a #WilderSolent at risk.
Beach cleans are a great way to keep our shorelines safe from litter. Join a local beach clean event, organise one yourself, or even do a two minute clean while out for a walk - you'll be amazed at what you'll find.

A predatory fish, sea bass are highly mobile, migrating inshore in summer months. The Solent is a nursery area for sea bass where they can spend up to eight years before reaching sexual maturity 🐟 #WilderSolent
This week we’ve been out with our fantastic team of volunteers planting 40,000 seagrass seed as part of our Solent Seagrass Restoration Project and Solent Seascape Project project! 🌱🌊
An exciting milestone working towards our vision of a #wilderSolent

Short-snouted Seahorse, one of a series for Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust Secrets of The Solent and Wilder Solent campaign. It's a plea for more protection for these fragile and delicate creatures and the seagrass habitat they depend on. #SecretsOfTheSolent #WilderSolent #Seahorse #seagrass
Earlier this month we planted 1025 seed bombs in Langstone Harbour as part of our Solent Seagrass Restoration Project in partnership with @BoskalisWestminster 🌱 Full update coming soon 👀… Find out more here 👇

Have you seen our new harbour seal mural near the Lord Louis Library? The artwork is the latest of six marine murals being painted by ATM. Our Secrets of the Solent project commissioned the paintings to highlight and celebrate the wildlife in our local waters.

Stunning painting of a Thresher Shark by ATM at Langstone Harbour entrance, on the Hayling side. #WilderSolent #Solent #ThresherShark #Shark #StreetArt

Did you know that small-spotted catsharks will curl up into a doughnut shape when threatened? 🍩
They most likely do this to look bigger and harder to eat!
