Looking after our coast

Looking after our coast

Your coast needs you – help us to keep it special by working together to keep our beautiful coast safe and healthy, we are working to combat :

  • Flytipping
  • Badger baiting
  • Illegal vehicle use – motorcycles and quad bike
  • Air guns
  • Hunting with dogs
  • Anti-social behaviour
  • Fires

None of these activities are legal along our coast – we need your help in taking action to reduce environmental crime, anti-social behaviour and vandalism along our beautiful coast.

Please report anything you see to telehone 101 (24 hours)

You can do something that will really make a difference to our beautiful coastline by reporting any illegal or antisocial behaviour.
