Portishead Ecology Park
The ecology park was established in 2007 as part of the Port Marine housing development, creating a public open space and a flood storage buffer. Prior to that, the land was primarily grazing marsh and was artificially drained by a series of interconnected drainage ditches. The wetland habitat is made up of ponds, scrapes and marshy grassland. It is home to a range of wildlife species including nesting birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, invertebrates and native wild flowers.

Balancing pond in Paper Mill Gardens
With Portishead's flat and marshy hinterland now occupied by housing, the estate has a balancing pond to cope with excessive rainfall and flooding. However, it lies next to a children's play area, and has an electricity substation opposite. See
