The aim of the partnership is ‘to secure investment, protect sources of funding and promote the benefits to the wider public of protecting these areas’.

Chairman of Chichester Harbour Conservancy, Roger Price said: “We welcome this national commitment to work together.

“Locally, we aim to strengthen our relationships with other AONBs and national parks in the south.

“The joint accord will help to raise the profile of these special places that all face similar environmental and financial challenges.”
