Thanet Coast Project

About Thanet Coast Project

This group was designed for our coastal wardens, volunteers, and all round lovers of the Thanet Coast to share their views of the Thanet Coast by submitting their images.

The Thanet Coast, together with Pegwell Bay, is an internationally important place for wintering birds and the marine life associated with the chalk cliffs, caves, reefs and sandy bays. It is also nationally important for the geology, the chalk stacks and arch, and some of the area’s coastal plants.

The Thanet Coast Project was set up in 2001 as a result of the workshops held with stakeholders to drive forward the priorities which people had identified. The main aims of TCP are to:

---Raise awareness of the important marine and bird life, and how to avoid damaging them
---Work with local people to safeguard coastal wildlife and implement the Management Scheme action
---Encourage and run wildlife related events and make links with wildlife, green tourism, coastscape and the arts
---Be a focal point for enquiries and gathering information on coastal wildlife and environmental issues
---Keep everyone informed with progress through various means, including newsletters, articles and stakeholder workshops
