The Bay's Changing Coast

Monday 6 May 2024
Join us at Hest Bank to explore how our beautiful Bay has changed through time. Our special pop-up display of old maps and photos will shine a light on the wandering channels and shifting saltmarsh of Morecambe Bay. We'll show the daring schemes people have imagined to tame the tide and reclaim farmland from the sea and the impact this has had on the coastline today. Discover the secrets of the saltmarsh, its importance for wildlife & flood prevention, and a new coastal management project called Our Future Coast which seeks to restore it. We would also love to hear your stories of the coast. If you have memories or photographs of floods, changes in the channels, or how the saltmarsh used to look please do bring them along. This is a drop in event. Come see us any time between 11 and 4.
