 Welcome
to the Berwickshire & North Northumberland Coast European
marine site.
The site encompasses 115km of some of the most stunning coastline
in the UK. The site stretches from Alnmouth in North East
England to Fast Castle Head in south east Scotland, including
the Farne Islands, covering nearly 650 square kilometres of
shore and sea.
 The
Berwickshire and North Northumberland coast supports a great
diversity of habitats, plants and animals. On the shore we
can see grey seals, internationally important species of migratory
birds and a vast array of smaller animals such as anemones,
sponges and crabs in amongst the rocks and tide pools.  Below
the sea surface, kelp forests, sea caves, and rocky reefs
are found, all supporting a wealth of marine life.
This
website will help you to find out more about the marine habitats,
plants and animals for which the European marine site has
been proposed. There is also information about how the site
is managed, and the people and organisations involved.
