They are in homes and hospitals, shops and schools, roads, and even the Channel Tunnel. In some cases they are in the fabric of the very defences that protect our coastal communities from the sea. But their extraction inevitably comes at a price for the marine environment. Some of the impacts of aggregate dredging may, over time, be repaired. Some species may return to a dredged area, but others may not, and geological or archaeological resources can be lost forever in the extraction process. Government has long recognised that it is essential to balance the needs of the environment with the social and economic needs of the nation. It is what that well worn phrase ‘sustainable development’ is all about. We have to ensure that, in taking natural resources, we minimise the impact of our actions on both the surrounding environment and on future generations. In short, we have to live within our means. With this in mind, the Government launched the Aggregates Levy, and the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund in 2002. The Aggregates Levy is an environmental tax on industry for the extraction of aggregates. It reduces demand for primary aggregates by increasing their cost, making the use of recycled materials more viable. The Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund provides money to reduce the environmental impacts of extraction, supporting research to assess and mitigate damage caused by dredging. Since the Fund’s creation, Defra has allocated around £9 million on marine-related research. The range of research has been wide, it has needed to be because historically we have had relatively limited knowledge of the ability of the sea to recover from the aggregate dredging process. We have got little baseline information on what can recover and what could be lost forever. Without this information, it’s very difficult to assess where aggregate extraction is acceptable, where it is not, and where its impact can be minimised. Another gap in our knowledge is knowing what variety of marine resources are actually in the areas where extraction is proposed. After all, neither industry, conservationists, nor regulators can make informed decisions on where dredging can go ahead, unless they have information on what is happening in that area and what the potential impacts may be. The Fund has therefore supported projects like the British Geological Survey (BGS) seabed habitat mapping in the eastern English Channel, and surveys of archaeological finds from the southern North Sea. In the Marine area, in particular, we have placed considerable emphasis on sharing the information the Funds projects have collected, with the wider world. This book is in that tradition and forms both a valuable record of the work undertaken and a reference source for those working in this area.

McGrath History and Description Fort Cumberland, designed to defend Portsea Island’s Eastern flank, was the last self-contained fully bastioned fortress constructed in England. It was the brainchild of the 3rd. Duke of Richmond, who, as Master general of the Ordnance, conceived it during an extensive Southern tour in 1782. He most likely envisaged a showpiece structure incorporating new techniques advocated by the Frenchman Montalembert. These were not, however, immediately acceptable to English Engineers trained more traditionally in the Vauban school. So a compromise was reached utilising casemates revived by Montalembert and Vauban’s bastions. The twenty-five year project involved thousands of transport-destined convicts representing a security nightmare but a cheap and semi-skilled labour force.

    FOR SALE FREEHOLD On the instruction of : THE ROYAL MARINES MUSEUM EASTNEY ESPLANADE, SOUTHSEA, HAMPSHIRE PO4 9PX “The most architecturally distinguished Officers’ barracks in England” A UNIQUE REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY SUITABLE FOR ALTERNATIVE USES (STP) INTRODUCTION The closure of the Museum and transfer of artefacts to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard into a new museum will broaden the massive appeal of the Royal Marines story and hence the existing building is now surplus to requirements. LOCATION Portsmouth lies at the centre of the South coast alongside the Solent, 65 miles south- west of London and 19 miles to the east of Southampton. The major part of the City lies on Portsea Island which is served by three road links to the mainland, the M275, the A3 London Road and the A2030 Eastern Road, all of which connect with the M27/A27. There is a mainline train service to London Waterloo, a passenger ferry service across the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour to Gosport, passenger and car ferry services to the Isle of Wight and passenger and car ferry services to France and Spain from the Portsmouth Continental Ferry Port. The population of the urban area is some 187,000 with an age demographic reflecting that of the UK. The property is located in Eastney on the south eastern corner of Portsea Island. The building itself is situated on the north side of Eastney Esplanade overlooking Eastney Beach and Seafront. Postcode: DESCRIPTION PO4 9PX The Museum is the former Officers’ quarters and mess completed circa 1865, designed by William Scamp (Director of the Admiralty Works dept) and is the principal building within the Eastney Barracks site.
