New webpage looks at the marine life of the Coquet to St Mary’s Marine Conservation Zone
The Coquet to St Mary’s Marine Conservation Zone is a nationally important marine site covering the area from Alnmouth to Whitley Bay. Despite its significance for marine conservation in England, the site has a relatively low profile amongst the general public as much of the spectacular range of sea-life it supports is hidden beneath the waves. To raise the profile of the site, the Berwickshire and Northumberland Marine Nature Partnership have produced a new story map highlighting the range of marine creatures found there ranging from crabs to cold water corals and from octopuses to migratory birds.
The Story Map can be viewed at this link
