The Green Island Archaeology Project is an ongoing investigation by Bournemouth University in conjunction with the Poole Maritime Trust.

Green Island Causeway
http://www.poolemaritime.org/PBARG%20Report.htm
One of the first underwater sites investigated by the Poole Harbour Heritage Project was a stone structure known locally as the Green Island Causeway. The existence of this 'causeway' linking Green Island to the nearby mainland at Cleavel Point is well known around the harbour, and its date and purpose have been the subjects of much speculation. This report, by Mike Markey, of the Poole Bay Archaeological Research Group, covers two seasons of fieldwork on the causeway.
