Have you wondered what these bizarre "waves" are on Brighton seafront?

Brighton and Hove City Council are planting five hectares of vegetative shingle on the beach, reintroducing native plants, wildflowers and chalk grasslands.

As part of the plantation, crews have built a unique wave design to protect the plants from Brighton's harsh coastal conditions.

Councillor Tom Druitt, chairman of the council’s Black Rock Task and Finish Group, said: "As part of our Black Rock rejuvenation project we’re planting five hectares of vegetative shingle on the beach, reintroducing native plants, wildflowers and chalk grasslands.

“This is a joint project with experts from the Kew Gardens Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst.

“The unique ‘wave’ design in the shingle protects the young plants from harsh coastal conditions.

“The vast majority of feedback we have had has been very positive.

“The Black Rock scheme has been approved by councillors and is backed by a wide range of local and national environmental groups."
