Thousands have objected to plans to dump dredged sediment in a protected marine area, according to a charity.

Sussex Wildlife Trust said that more than 6,000 people responded to a public consultation on whether Brighton Marina should dispose of material in the Beachy Head West Marine Conservation Zone.

The charity said the practice risked harming the "nationally important wildlife hotspot" running parallel to the coast from Brighton to Eastbourne.

Surely just dump the sediment somewhere that isn't a protected zone?
