Stronger Shores is a project covering the North East of England coastline, from Northumberland to Redcar and Cleveland. We are learning how underwater habitats such as seagrass meadows, kelp forests, and native oyster reefs can naturally protect our coastlines from erosion and flooding, improve water quality, and create habitats for wildlife. We also believe that a healthy coastal and marine environment means a more beautiful place where people want to live, work, and visit.
Stronger Shores community grant's aim to support a broad range of projects that are community led and support the Stronger Shores mission of understanding how natural marine habitats can protect our coastline. We want communities and people to be part of this by building understanding of underwater habitats (seagrass, kelp, and native oysters), how the coastline is changing with the climate crisis, and what action individuals and groups can take to help protect the marine and coastal environment.
Grants between £500-£5000 can be applied for to support projects in the following areas: Northumberland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland, Durham, Hartlepool and Redcar and Cleveland. We will be accepting applications from Monday 11th November 2024 to Monday 13th January 2025.
