Dune Project
Dynamic Understanding of the Natural Environment
About the project
The DUNE project is a new initiative in North East Lincolnshire, focused on protecting and understanding the natural coastline around Cleethorpes, especially the salt marshes and sand dunes along the Humber Estuary. This area is really important for wildlife and is officially recognised for its special habitats.
Areas in Focus
Sand dunes
From the outer dunes of the strandline to the rich plant life of the dune grasslands, our dune systems at Cleethorpes and the Humberston Fitties support a diversity of plants and wildlife. This is especially important as coastal sand dunes are one of the most threatened habitat types in Europe for biodiversity loss.
Saltmarsh
A rare and internationally important habitat for wildlife, the saltmarsh at Cleethorpes is a dynamic and diverse place. This coastal wetland provides essential feeding and roosting habitat for many birds as well as forming a natural flood defence, improving water quality and capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
And more….
As part of the Humber Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), our entire coastline is a thriving environment for marine and shoreline species. Raising awareness of its value and contributing towards its conservation are the main aims of the DUNE Project.
To read more about this project, sign up to the DUNE Newsletter and even book onto a walk with Josh our Coastal Ranger visit DUNE.
The DUNE Project is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
