Abstract: |
The Chesil Beach Protected Wrecks consist of two discrete clusters of ships’ guns located in a highly
dynamic area close to Chesil Beach off the coast of Dorset. They are within the Chesil Beach and
Stennis Ledges Marine Conservation Zone and the Chesil and The Fleet Special Area of Conservation.
The sites were recorded in 2010 as part of a survey by the Shipwreck Project and reported to Historic
England who commissioned an undesignated site assessment; they were subsequently designated
under the Protection of Wrecks Act (1973) in 2017 as two sites of unknown identity. This Conservation Statement and Management Plan has been produced to enable local and regional stakeholder involvement in the conservation management of the Chesil Beach sites, to balance both the sites protection along with economic and social needs. The principle aim of the Conservation Management Plan is to identify a shared vision of how these values of the Chesil Beach Wrecks can be conserved, maintained and enhanced for future generations. |
