Seascapes

The Trust was thrilled to announce that National Lottery Heritage Funding (NLHF) was secured in 2020 for the coastline between the rivers Tyne and Tees and we have been delighted to see this project go from strength to strength ever since.

Tyne to Tees, Shores and Seas or SeaScapes Partnership for short is the UK’s first marine landscape partnership scheme. It comprises a group of local, regional and national partners that work in the coastal, marine and heritage sectors. This funding has facilitated the development and delivery of 23 projects set to benefit our coastal heritage, the marine environment and local communities along our amazing magnesian limestone seascape.

As part of the partnership, Durham Wildlife Trust hosts the Intertidal Interactive Officer. They run a number of project events such as wildlife groups, engagement activities and citizen science programmes; developing a better understanding of our unique marine resource and securing its protection for the future.

NLHF funding is additionally supporting the Trust’s wardening and monitoring of the internationally important breeding colony of little terns at Crimdon and Seaton Carew.

The future looks bright for Tyne Tees Shore to Seas.
