Three Harbours

Who Are We?

The Three Harbours is a partnership of organisations working together to restore the landscape across the Three Harbours of Langstone, Chichester and Pagham focussing on water quality, biodiversity and carbon capture.

We recognise that existing efforts to protect and restore our landscapes are not enough. The resources and expertise from numerous organisations attempting to tackle the threats and pressures on our natural systems are spread too thinly across a multitude of stakeholders, projects and initiatives.  We need a clear strategy to focus on the priorities and get all partners pulling in the same direction.

The strategy identifies the points of leverage that will make the most difference and the modern tools that value natural capital and drive investment in recovery at pace and at scale. Based on this strategy, we will draw together an integrated plan with partners, broader stakeholders and the public, that captures all the activity that is taking place and what we will do to accelerate restoration.

We have now published our Three Harbours Strategy 2024-2028

We are excited to announce that our Strategy is now published. We are grateful to all those who helped to develop the strategy and provided feedback. We have already been looking at ways to deliver this strategy through the high-level plan set out on page 27 onwards, and we will be updating you on our progress in the coming months.
