Members of the Beyond Greenspace team have collaborated with the RSPB to examine whether marine wildlife is an important component of the wellbeing benefits of visits to the coast.

“So, the take home message is to go to the coast and see what fascinating biodiversity and animal behaviour you can spot.  It’ll do you good.”
