Endangered Water Voles Reintroduced to Surrey River; Marina Dredging Plan Faces Disposal Hurdle

Conservation efforts are underway in Surrey to reintroduce endangered water voles to the River Wey, a species that had become locally extinct. This initiative aims to restore biodiversity and ecological balance to the river system.

Meanwhile, Brighton Marina is planning to resume dredging operations next year but is encountering challenges in identifying a suitable offshore location for the disposal of the resulting silt. The environmental impact of silt disposal remains a key consideration for the marina's operational plans.
