Wildlife on the beach
Stranded marine life
Occasionally marine life such as seals, dolphins or whales can be washed up or stranded on the beach. If the stranded animal is alive, the response speed of a rescue team is vital.
Please let the Resort Hub know if you spot something on 01472 323356.
Internationally important birds
Every year, 90 million birds fly along the East Atlantic Flyway, a super-highway that follows the coastlines from the Arctic, through Europe and into Africa. The feeding grounds found in Cleethorpes and the Humber Estuary act like a motorway service station by providing a rest stop for the migrating birds. This supports internationally important numbers of birds, with more than 150,000 wetlands birds relying on the estuary for safe feeding and roosting grounds.
Ways you can help
- Remember the beach is home to wildlife, and we are the visitors.
- Avoid disturbing resting and feeding birds.
- Keep activities on the beach and in the water away from birds.
- Don’t let your dog chase the birds and keep them under control.
- Move further away when birds are disturbed.
