Celebrity Support: Author Deborah Moggach

Deborah Moggach’s work includes writing “These Foolish Things” (2004) which was adapted into the movie “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and script for the 2005 version of “Pride and Prejudice” starring Keira Knightley.

Author and screenplay writer Deborah Moggach, who has a holiday home in Kingsdown, has appealed to the Marine Management Organisation, which is reviewing the application to dredge.

She said:

Myself and my family would like to make the strongest possible objection to this application, to dredge from this very fragile and special ecosystem. There is nowhere like the Goodwin Sands, and to disturb it would do huge damage to the wildlife there – the colony of seals, the spawning fish and the marine life in general.

This site has been recommended by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs as a Marine Conservation Zone and must be protected for future generations.

Dredging on such a scale would further add to the erosion along the coast, by altering the sea currents. The knock-on effects could be calamitous.

Please, please turn down this application. This wild, unique and magical place would be ruined.
