Southern Water sewage is destroying protected harbour, say activists

Campaigners say Chichester harbour at risk of environmental ruin from dumping of raw sewage

Discharges of raw sewage by Southern Water into a protected natural harbour risk causing an environmental catastrophe, say campaigners.

Chichester harbour in West Sussex is one of the most highly protected marine environments in the country. But the latest analysis from Natural England shows that 80% of its protected habitats are in an unfavourable or declining condition.
