  • Web Site Dive Site List 28.12
    OLD HARBOUR DIVE CENTRE DIVE SITES 2010 Aeolian Sky - DEPTH 30m This was a large ship some 16,000 tons that sank on 4th November 1979. Most of her hull is still intact with the holds still full of cargo. She lies on her port side with the decks facing east and her bows in the south. The bows themselves have been blown off and lie some 4 metres away from the main hull. Some salvage was carried out soon after her sinking, but most of her cargo still lies within her holds, most of it in unopened containers. Items of cargo still lay around the wreck on the sea bed. In good periods in summer, the visibility can be in excess of 15 metres. Alex Van Opstal - DEPTH 27m This Belgian passenger liner of 5,965 tons was the first of a series of large ships to be sunk by mines at the start of World War Two. The vessel was only two years old when she met her end on 15th September 1939. She is a large wreck and measured 420ft with a 57ft beam. Her forward emd is still intact and stands almost 7m off the sea bed. Towards the stern the ship is increasingly damaged. Her sertn section is broken of and located approxi- mately 100 yards to the south-west. Binnendijk - DEPTH 27m This 400ft Dutch steamship of almost 7,000 tons was sunk by a mine on 8th October 1939. The Binnendijk now rests on the seabed, badly broken up. Within the wreck’s lower parts there is coarse white sand.

  • 010 to Develop the Site for an Energy Plant Fuelled by Vegetable Oil, Including Waste Oils
    NTS Portland energy recovery facility Environmental statement NTS Non-technical summary Portland Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) Powerfuel Portland Limited ES: Non-technical summary Non-technical summary Introduction NTS.1 Powerfuel Portland Limited is applying to Dorset Council for planning permission to develop land within Portland Port for an energy recovery facility (ERF) fuelled by refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Figure NTS.1 shows the application boundary and the location of the site in relation to Portland. NTS.2 An environmental impact assessment (EIA) was needed because of the potential for significant environmental effects. An environmental statement (ES) has been prepared to report the findings and its key elements are summarised in this non-technical summary. Background NTS.3 The former Weymouth and Portland Borough Council granted planning permission in early 2010 to develop the site for an energy plant fuelled by vegetable oil, including waste oils. This planning permission was varied in 2013 to allow waste rubber crumb from end-of-life tyres to be used as an alternative fuel source. NTS.4 The original plans were never completed and the development company that led the plans (W4B Portland Limited) no longer exists. Powerfuel Portland Limited is now bringing forward a new full planning application to develop the site for an ERF fuelled by RDF, which is a more standard and robust technology for the recovery of energy from waste. The proposed development site NTS.5 The 6.29-hectare(1) site lies on the north eastern coast of the Isle of Portland, within Portland Port, around 600 m east of the villages of Fortuneswell and Castletown (figure NTS.1).

    World Class Science for the Marine and Freshwater Environment Dorset and East Devon FLAG area - Aquaculture Mapping Project Mapping of Areas of Potential Aquaculture within the Dorset and East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) area - FINAL report Authors: Simon Kershaw; Richard Heal; Paulette Posen; Ian Tew, Claire Beraud; Keith Jeffery. Date: January 2021 Please cite this document as: Kershaw, S., Beraud, C., Heal, R., Posen, P., Tew, I. and Jeffery, K. (2021). Mapping of Areas of Potential Aquaculture within the Dorset and East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) area. Cefas Contract C7731, European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) grant number ENG3016, pp. 1-205. Page i Executive Summary The global human population looks set to reach 9.8 billion people by 2050 (United Nations, 2017) and our food systems will therefore be under intense pressure to produce animal protein for an increasing population. Food security is an objective of the UK administrations and aquaculture makes an important and growing contribution to this (HM Government, 2011). The UK multi-annual plan (Defra, 2015) highlights the Government’s commitment to encouraging the development of aquaculture within the new Marine Plan areas. This included emphasising to marine planners the importance of aquaculture to the environment and society and strengthening data and evidence locally and nationally for the potential for aquaculture development (marine finfish, shellfish, algae and other organisms). Locally, the Dorset & East Devon Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG) area was selected because of the importance of fishing and seafood to coastal communities. Developing an increased production of quality local product will help bolster and supply successful local business events such as the Weymouth Seafood Festival.

It draws on national and local trends to help inform policy development, and enables some cumulative effects to be considered. In addition to this document, planners are advised to consult Charting Progress 2, plus the C-SCOPE MMA and Socio-economic Reports which provide more in-depth information on national and local trends.

Sector Assessments 2. 1 Dredging and Disposal 2.1.1 National Overview There are approximately 215 marine disposal sites for dredged material in the UK, but only half of these are in use at any one time. Since the 1980s there has been increasing legislation to prohibit the disposal of radioactive and industrial wastes, colliery minestone and sewage sludge. The disposal of material dredged from ports and harbours which cannot be used beneficially for other purposes is still permitted in licensed marine disposal sites.
