Map of Chichester Harbour

Chichester Harbour forms part of one of the largest estuarine systems to be found on the South Coast of England providing a diverse range of habitat and encouraging a variety of overwintering wildfowl.

Widgeon and Teal are the prime quarry species that overwinter within Chichester Harbour along with Mallard, Pintail, Shoveler, Tufted Duck, Gadwall, Goldeneye, Pochard, and Canada Geese also Golden Plover and Snipe.

Large numbers of Brent Geese overwinter in Chichester Harbour along with other non quarry species such as Shellduck and Red Breasted Merganser.

Prospective new shooting members undergo a stringent training period in order to be able to distinguish between quarry and non quarry species as well as learning boundaries, shooting law and etiquette.

CHWA actively warden all its shooting and non shooting areas within Chichester Harbour.
