Dibden Bay on Southampton Water, near the New Forest. A public inquiry opened at Hythe, near Southampton today into the construction of a port at Dibden Bay, which nature campaigners say, could cause the loss of precious wildlife habitats. The inquiry is expected to last a year. *16/04/02: Dibden Bay on Southampton Water, near the New Forest, the site of a proposed plan to build a major port on the south coast, which Green lobby groups say will harm internationally important wildlife sites. Directors of Associated British Ports (ABP) will face tough questions from their shareholders - including Friends of the Earth director Charles Secrett - at the annual general meeting because of threats to wildlife at the proposed Dibden bay development. ABP's proposal to build a new super port at Dibden Bay within the proposed boundaries of the New Forest National Park, faces wide-ranging opposition from major environmental organisations, and from the government's own advisory agencies.
