Reedbed |
| Plan status: Implementation underway |

Vision statement |
| Reedbeds are wetlands dominated by stands of Common Reed where the water table is at or above ground level for most of the year. They tend to incorporate open water and ditches, and areas of wet grassland and carr woodland may be associated with them. This action plan aims to maintain and expand the range of reedbeds in Sussex. |

Rye Harbour - A Shingle Community.
Create 5 hectares of reedbed and 50 new islands. This will help to meet Local Biodiversity Action Plan targets for reedbed and species such as Bittern, Water Vole, Medicinal Leech and several other rare and endangered species.
Encourage volunteer participation in management of the Nature Reserve.
Encourage specialist surveys of the shingle flora and fauna.
Extend the LNR program of events and activities, encouraging informal education and recreation.
Develop access for all, especially with tactile and auditory interpretation for the blind and hearing impaired.
Support the Rye Harbour Heritage Group that was recently established to record the rich history of the area. This includes shingle extraction and transport by sea and rail, concrete fabrication, fishing, Martello Towers, Blue Boulders, a Lifeboat Disaster, and war-time memories.
Support a youth project run by the local community, to record the village industrial and social heritage and the experiences of locals who worked in the aggregates industry (by sound recording, written and photographic media).
