Wendy Stowe
Beaulieu River Harbour Master
‘What makes the Beaulieu River special is its natural beauty, making it a haven to escape from day-to-day life.
‘The Beaulieu River and surrounding area form part of a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) as well as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), providing habitats for more than 200 species of birdlife.
‘So while ensuring our berth and mooring holders enjoy sailing on the Beaulieu River, we are responsible for keeping it special by working with other agencies to continue to protect its habitats.
‘Encouraging visitors’ environmentally-friendly behaviour and raising the awareness of good practice is an essential part of our role and we would urge all river users to ‘do their bit’ to act responsibly. Together, we can continue to work to protect the Beaulieu River so it remains a special place for the future.’
