Your Coast Project Sunderland

Sunderland’s beautiful coastline is home to many species of rare bird, wildflowers and sea life, which need protection from a variety of threats such as new housing development for the area over the coming years.

The Sunderland Coast project seeks to protect the landscape and its wildlife by engaging with residents and visitors, and encouraging safe and responsible enjoyment of our coastline.
