Manhood Peninsula Partnership Coastal Management A large part of the Manhood is less than 5m above sea level and at risk from flooding, both inland and coastal.

Drainage is an increasing problem in the Manhood as the existing ditches are proving inadequate to handle increased run-off resulting from recent development and heavier rainfall. Plans...
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Climate Change The Manhood Peninsula is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change including rising sea levels, rising water table, and more intense precipitation.

Scuba Diving

Selsey Bill and Bracklesham Bay offer some of the best dive sites in the country for divers interested in both WWII wrecks and abundant marine life. Divers can see the best of both at the famous Mulberry Harbours site where the sunken pontoons house many species including skate, rays, eels, crabs, lobsters and soft corals. Bracklesham Bay is the proud home of HMS Hazardous wrecked in 1703, one of the UK’s protected wrecks which divers can ONLY visit after prior arrangement with the licensee. To visit the Hazardous contact Wittering Divers.

There are several outlets in Selsey and East Wittering where diving trips can be organised and diving equipment can be hired.
