Operation Seabird highlights risks to our unique coastline

The launch of this year’s Operation Seabird took place this week along the Greater Lincolnshire coastline.

Saltfleet – just down the coast from Cleethorpes and Tetney – and Barton’s Far Ings NNR – hosted organisations from across across the region to raise awareness of our spectacular wildlife.

The Humber Nature Partnership supported the day of action, as the coastline prepares for the Easter break.

Police patrols looked for disturbance and antisocial behaviour – offering advice to visitors about how they can minimise their impact on our coastal wildlife along the Humber Estuary European Marine Site.

Regarded as one of the most important estuaries in Europe for its wildlife and habitats, the Humber Estuary European Marine Site covers the entire Humber Estuary and spans the North Sea from the Spurn Peninsula to north Mablethorpe.
