Hooe Lake - The Unseen Reality

By Alison Gould

This magazine addresses the adverse impact of pollution on Hooe Lake in Plymouth, specifically stemming from the presence of numerous abandoned boat wrecks.

The potential risks to the ecosystem and environment have not been thoroughly documented, prompting this publication to advocate for increased awareness on the issue. This report offers a comprehensive overview of Hooe Lake, highlighting its natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and historical significance. It emphasises the need for proactive measures to safeguard and conserve this valuable ecosystem.

"Although there is a significant amount of historical significance associated with these hulks, there is also a pressing concern regarding the potential damage they may be inflicting upon the ecosystem and the environment."

Alison is currently studying a degree in Photography at the Arts University in Plymouth and is approaching her final year of study. With a background in Graphic Design and Signwork, Alison showcases a meticulous eye for detail that is apparent in her photographic work. As a result of her recognition of the pollution present at Hooe Lake, she was inspired to explore this issue in one of her projects and has crafted this article as a means to advocate for increased public awareness regarding the endangerment of the local ecosystem and environment.
