Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Significant areas of the Kent, Duddon, and Leven estuaries currently fail to achieve even moderate WFD status, predominantly due to water quality for shellfish. Discarded rubbish and plastics are also significant problems in these areas. There is poor public awareness of the issues affecting our estuaries.

This project will build awareness of the issues and build volunteer capacity. Volunteer teams led and hosted by Morecambe Bay Partnership will carry out beach cleans removing litter, especially plastics. The project will focus on coastal sections of the Bay that are currently failing. Additional training will be supported so we develop a network of volunteer champions/ ambassadors who will communicate constructive message with the press and with their local communities, raising awareness of water quality issues and able to highlight actions to address these.

Community Involvement - Engagement activities will include public consultations, practical volunteering activities like beach cleans, and tree planting, and awareness-raising through media and face-to-face contact.
