Scheme to improve marine biodiversity launched in Whitby (www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk)

An innovative project to improve biodiversity and improve marine habitats has been set up in Whitby.

Textured and sculptural concrete panels, crafted by hand with the help of local people, have been created and will be fixed to an area of 25m² of the intertidal zone on the slipway at Whitehall Landing.

The new artificial textured panels will transform the sheer, man-made, concrete sea wall and slipway into new habitats that can be colonised by seaweeds, whelks and winkles and other marine creatures, helping to improve biodiversity in the area.

Over time, intertidal habitats have been lost because man-made structures such as quays and marinas have been built on these important areas.
