In a pioneering new project, Natural England have commissioned the Coastal Partnerships Network (trading as The Coastal Collaborative Ltd) led by Amy Pryor, Niall Benson and Natasha Bradshaw, to answer the question ‘What makes effective partnerships for marine nature recovery?’

​

The overarching objective of this novel initiative is to maximize the potential of Coastal and Estuary Partnerships and similar initiatives which support collaboration to advance nature recovery. It will gain valuable insights to enhance coastal and marine management at the local, regional, and national levels.

​

The project runs from August 2023 – April 2024. Please see the full project summary below.
