Clearly anchoring does impact the sea grass. The act of dropping a heavy object onto the sea bed is by definition an impact. Whether it affects the sea grass is a different matter.

Despite being hectored by some who are RYA supporters or simply keen to advise others how to proceed I have since contacted the RYA regarding deficient advice on current ease of entry to the Boulogne,Gravelines ,Dunkerque ports and the reply was as follows:
We decided not to include a list of marinas attached to the system and instead direct people to the French Customs website where this information is available. That way, if the information on the French Customs website changes, we don’t risk providing wrong information on the RYA site (although we do check the information regularly).
We have, however, received some good feedback on individual experiences that it would be useful to incorporate into our web guidance. We will be reviewing the guidance over the coming weeks, and I will look at how we might include the points you mention.
So my initial post stands.I have been following the issue now for several years as it affects me and others from the South East.
Further ,to suggest that the RYA 'has nothing to do' with the primary yachting forum in the UK and have hitherto been unaware of the issue is either wrong or very surprising.
