'Living in the British Isles means that the seas and our coastline are as intrinsic to life today as they have been for thousands of years.' - Kate Humble. Nearly half of us say tthat our happiest childhood memeories are from days spent at the seaside. Two-thirds of people recently claimed that visiting the coast is important to their quality of life. Millions of us spend our spare time walking the headlands, playing on beaches, exploring rockpools, relaxing to the sound of waves. This DVD celebrates the achievements of the Neptune Coastline Campaign. It explores the diversity of our coastal environments, and highlights some of the most exciting currrent and future projects to show conservation in action. It reveals how we can combat the effects of climate change, regenerate rare natural habitats and allow species migration, through the sensitive and imaginative management of our land. Above all, it's a 'thank you' to all those supporters whose foresight and generosity, over four decades, has benefitted us all by protecting our vulnerable, beautiful coastline.
