CIM_PH_178g

Mike lists some of the fish species that live in, or migrate, around Poole Harbour.

CIM_PH_178j

Nick outlines his understanding of the history of Spartina Grass in Holes Bay: from hybridisation with an American species, to rapid spreading across saltmarshes, and exportation across the world for 'reclaiming' mudflats. Nick continues onto how he thinks this rapid ecological change might have impacted wildlife, and how Spartina then declined after it's quick growth.

CIM_PH_233h

Nick describes the changes in bird diversity he's seen around Holes Bay, and how these changes become normalised.

CIM_PH_233e

Nick speculates around the impacts of Poole Sewage Works on sea lettuce algae, and on the Widgeon population. The sewage works, around a kilometre North of Holes Bay, are discharged via a culvert directly into Holes Bay.

Nick describes harbour infilling across the Turlin Moor playing fields, using ash from Hamworthy Power Station. He reflects on how this change might be received, if it were done today. From historic map overlays, this area used to be mudflats.

CIM_PH_233a

Nick tells a story he's heard about some peregrines nesting on top of the Power Station chimneys, and how they have adapted to the loss of the chimneys with a new nesting site.

Lilian reflects on the relationship between ordinary people and planning authorities when landscape change is concerned. Lilian describes a public meeting in advance of the Bestwall Quarry gravel extraction programme, where there were lots of attendees against the change.

CIM_PH_241a

In reference to a map of the Bestwall Quarry excavation area, Lilian reflects on how the Harbour might have looked for our prehistoric ancestors. Lilian explains how the Harbour sea level has rose since the Roman period (2 metres, according to a colleague). The excavation map showed that the Iron Age ditches continued onto the foreshore, indicating that land that is now intertidal was once used as part of field systems. Lilian continues onto the etymology of 'Poole', and a theory of geological climate change.

CIM_PH_241h

Lilian describes how people often forget about the Bestwall Quarry excavations, or aren't aware about the landscape change that took place. She continues onto how people enjoy reminiscing, and how communities still have pride in their local area.
