| Abstract: | The reconstruction of 8.1 km of dilapidated sea wall protecting the Hampshire coast of the Western Solent, near Lymington, presented the National Rivers Authority (Southern Region) with particular problems and substantial extra costs in coping with the needs of conservation. The resulting scheme, however, can be seen not only to have preserved but also enhanced the conservation value of its immediate surroundings in addition to the wider area of protected land. |
