This proposed nature reserve on the banks of the Solent included shingle shore, saltings and mudflats. Since 1913 the area has seen developments including a power station and refinery at Fawley. However, areas of wildlife habitat still remain, particularly within the Hythe - Calshot Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and the Calshot Marshes Local Nature Reserve, which is managed by Hampshire County Council.
