****Launching in May 2024****
Become a Citizen Scientist: help us to monitor how the coast is changing by submitting your photographs.
Our new CoastSnap photo points are being installed at locations across North Tyneside, Northumberland and Berwickshire coast. By placing your smartphone in the camera mount, taking a photo, and sharing it with us you can help document our continually changing coastline.
- Place your smartphone or tablet device on its side in the mount so that the camera is facing the beach through the gap. This is very important as if you don’t use the camera cradle, we can’t use your photo.
- Take your photo, without using zoom, square or panoramic.
- Share your photo with us (see how in the next section)
With enough photos taken we can track how the coast is changing over time due to processes such as storms, rising sea levels, and human activities.
How to share your photos
There are three different ways you can share your photographs with us:
Simply email us the photo at marine.partnership@northumberland.gov.uk (remember to let us know the time and date when the photo was taken)
Or
Share your photo on Facebook, Instagram or X (Twitter) with the hashtag for the location given on the photopost
Or
Download the CoastSnap app from Google Play or the Apple App Store and submit your photos direct from your phone

The original design and idea of CoastSnap belongs to the University of New South Wales, Water Research Laboratory team. CoastSnap is now a global network, to see other locations around the world, please visit the CoastSnap website.
Our local CoastSnap project was made possible through initial seed core funding from Natural England.
