Solent Oyster Fishery (Film with subtitles)

Now released on Youtube to mark the 20th anniversary of original filming (2003), this film was initially made as a retirement gift to the fisherman featured. Originally filmed on VHS and called 'The First Day of the Solent Oyster' (so named because November 1st was the first day of the opening of the fishery), it has now been re-edited with subtitles and represents the last known film footage of the Solent Oyster fishery before its collapse in 2008, due to poor oyster recruitment factors. The film shows the appearance of the invasive driller 'tingle' whelk which heralded the beginning of the end for this once productive inshore fishery, which operated between 1969 and 2008 and at its peak, was the largest naturally occuring oyster fishery in northern Europe, providing employment for hundreds of people.

The filmaker's vessel in the film is the emerald green boat 'Sandie Ann', originally built circa 1963 by HJ Mears of Seaton and launched as 'Diana II'. It worked for ten years on the beach at Beer (Devon) before being acquired by the gentleman in the film, a shipwright/boatbuilder, who maintained her throughout the decades of the oyster fishery. The other vessel featured, L'Aventureur, is a Brittany built boat, now changed owners, but still working in UK waters.
