Stronger Shores has launched two online curriculum-based toolkits for teachers of Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) and Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) that are designed with curriculum links throughout, drawing predominately upon science and geography. The online toolkits include include four videos shot in key locations along the North East coastline, with each of these containing two workshops. These focus on different parts of the Stronger Shores project – climate change, coastal erosion, coastal defences and careers. Lesson plans include presentations, quizzes and activities which can be carried out in the classroom with low cost materials, as well as tips on how pupils and schools can make a difference to our coastal communities. The launch of the online learning resource packs follow on from in person sessions being delivered by Stronger Shores with practical experiments – such as making kelp slime, surveying a representation of a rocky shore in class or playing a food web game.

Stronger Shores is a project covering the coastline from Northumberland to Redcar and Cleveland.

We've helped to complete the latest phase of an innovative £900,000 project to limit heavy metals polluting rivers in Upper Teesdale. The creation of more than 3 hectares of vegetation plots above Middleton-in-Teesdale will limit heavy metals being washed out of abandoned mine sites next to Great Eggleshope Beck, Little Eggleshope Beck and Marl Beck – all tributaries of the River Tees. By encouraging new plants to grow, less rain water will wash over or filter into the mine waste, reducing erosion and the amount of heavy metals washed into the becks. The work was delivered as part of the North Pennines National Landscape, Tees-Swale: naturally connected programme, which aims to restore, expand and connect habitats and is funded primarily through The National Lottery Heritage Fund. This project to limit metals polluting rivers was led by the Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust and the Water and Abandoned Metal Mines (WAMM) programme, working with the Tees Rivers Trust. It is primarily funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) through the WAMM programme, a partnership with the Environment Agency and the Mining Remediation Authority.

Exciting funding opportunity! Stronger Shores are delighted to launch our new community grant scheme. This scheme aims 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 (today!) until Monday 13th January 2025.
