Abstract | This chapter focuses on water based recreation. Its content was
determined by an in depth literature review, stakeholder interviews and a workshop for recreational interests. It reviews the issues faced
by water based leisure activities and looks at how they can be better
managed in the future.
It aims to raise awareness of the needs of the many recreational
activities that take place on and close to the Solent. It is hoped that
it will be seen as a valuable guide to planners and participants in the
future and will help to ensure that due consideration and allowance
can be given to these activities, alongside everything else which
demands space on this busy stretch of water. |
