Diggers have arrived at Keyhaven

Last week diggers arrived to clear a blocked outfall on the embankment at Fishtail Lagoon. Two duck bill valves have been installed on the outfall, which will improve drainage by keeping the outfall clearer for longer, duck bill valves are much better at clearing debris by themselves than standard flap valves. The Operations Team will be monitoring the performance over the next year and carrying out similar works nearby to improve drainage and fish passage. This vital work will restore drainage to the protected SSSI marshes.
