Strategic Guidance for the Solent
Strategic Guidance for the Solent was published in 1997. It acted as a catalyst to bring together the various sectors and stakeholders with an interest in the Solent to strategically discuss the future management needs of the area. The Guidance is now 10 years old and the Solent Forum Steering Group is considering how best to update it in line with the Marine Bill.
