Cuckmere Estuary Partnership

Q: Have you surveyed visitors to Seven Sisters Country Park/Cuckmere Haven area to find out if tourism will be affected by creation of a natural estuary?

A: We would very much like to carry out such a survey, both at SSCP and in the wider area, to establish the effects of any potential change of management on the lower Cuckmere estuary on tourism.  However, such surveys must be carried out professionally to ensure they are effective, and this is very costly.  At present, the SDJC has reduced funding in the run up to the NP and simply does not have the resources to undertake such work.  Nonetheless, we will look at potential external/ partnership funding, possibly with local business and tourism providers, or student dissertations which may be used to produce such a survey
