Hooe Lake is a picturesque location in Plymouth that offers numerous opportunities for photographers and artists to capture stunning images.

Among the many photographic subjects are the boat wrecks, which possess a unique allure when the tide is in, making them particularly intriguing for artistic exploration.

Conversely, when the tide recedes, the scene shifts dramatically. The sights of oil spills, rusting vessels, deteriorating fiberglass boats, and toxic paint waste, along with other discarded materials that have settled on the seabed, present a stark contrast.

This magazine is the result of a partnership with The Ships Project in Plymouth, an organisation dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of Hooe Lake, its surrounding waterways, and the conservation of the ecosystem and environment.

I had the privilege of working closely with Peter Holt, Chairman of The Ships Project, whose extensive knowledge was instrumental in the development of this article.

This magazine aims to shed light on the ongoing challenges in this field and enhance public awareness.

Alison is currently studying a degree in Photography at the Arts University Plymouth , she has created a magazine that emphasises the need for proactive measures to safeguard and conserve this valuable ecosystem that is #HooeLake .
