Paying for your mooring is quick and simple using the Sippi Mooring App. Remember that the partnership is a not-for-profit organisation. Every penny raised from the moorings goes directly towards protecting Studland Bay’s seagrass meadows, while allowing boating to continue here.
The eco-moorings are privately owned. If you have chosen not to pay, we ask that you move your vessel and moor outside of the Voluntary No Anchor Zone. This allows others to use the eco-mooring and contribute towards their maintenance and upkeep.

“It is fantastic that so many people are now using the eco-moorings and supporting the project. But we need more people to pay when they moor. If we can’t raise enough funds for the eco-moorings to go out every year, the seagrass meadows will suffer – and the bay could end up as a compulsory no‑anchor zone.”David Brown, chair of the partnership steering group, and lead ecologist for the National Trust
