Description

Oysters were farmed on Hayling up until the 1970s. Large complexes consisting of several pens separated by a series of bund walls were built to contain the oysters at varying stages of growth. Although large sections of the bund walls have since collapsed into the harbour, much of shape and scale of the beds can still be seen today. In 1996, the oyster beds on the north west coast of Hayling Island were restored and are now a breeding habitat for Huîtrier pie, Sterne naine, Sterne pierregarin and Sterne caugek and Mouette rieuse and Mouette mélanocéphale. Waders such as Courlis corlieu and Pluvier argenté can be seen during migration whilst many species come for just the winter such as Bernache cravant.
