Romsey and Southampton North MP, Caroline Nokes hosted a round-table discussion for the lead organisations tackling the recent diesel spill in the River Test. She also hopes those responsible for the pollution, will be actioned and fines should pay for damages caused. Ms Nokes also believes the Environmental Agency needs more funding to provide better monitoring of areas close to the river. The fuel spill has left a significant impact on the nature reserve and earlier this month, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Trust linked the pollution to a dead cygnet and some fish as animals were seen covered in fuel.

Fleet Moss restoration as part of the Great North Bog scheme led by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (Yorkshire Peat Partnership/PA)
A raft of new projects that store carbon and restore habitats have been unveiled by the Wildlife Trusts as part of efforts to tackle the climate and nature crises.
The 12 schemes include improving fragmented wetlands across four counties in England and Wales to pave the way for reintroducing beavers, restoring peatland in five counties and expanding saltmarsh along the Essex coast.
The schemes by the coalition of 46 nature charities employ “nature based solutions”, using landscapes and habitats to tackle climate emissions and impacts at the same time as helping to reverse declines in the natural world.
