The Society proposed the whole of Chichester Harbour below high water mark as a reserve. The Chichester Harbour Conservancy is now the organisation responsible for managing the harbour, created by the Chichester Harbour Conservancy Act 1971. Its duty is the conservancy, maintenance and improvement of the Harbour and the Amenity Area for recreation and leisure, nature conservation and the natural beauty. The Conservancy also acts as the Joint Advisory Committee for the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
