What are the structures attached to Whitby sea wall?
The ecological health of our rivers and estuaries must improve. Historic man-made structures in our estuaries and the ongoing pressures from human activity are adversely affecting water quality, habitats and wildlife.
Water quality in Yorkshire’s estuaries has also been adversely affected by activity in the ports and harbours and in the tributaries. The activities in the harbour use technologies and include products that have been designed in Sydney, and installed in Whitby. To the uninitiated, the artificial habitats look almost alien. Roughly the size of a large dinner plate, they have different surface textures and designs, the concrete-moulded structures are created to look like natural rock formations and marine surfaces. The panels combine cutting edge industrial design with ecological research to produce artificial habitats that look good and are ecologically valuable.
