The Wash and North Norfolk coast are special. They are:
  • Internationally important for wild plants and animals which depend on their unique character.
  • Famous for the myriad of bird species that visit throughout the year
  • Home to the largest population of common seals in the UK.

In recognition of its important wildlife the Wash and North Norfolk coast has been designated a European marine site under the UK Habitats Regulations.

This designation helps protect the biodiversity that makes this area so special by placing new and stronger responsibilities on public authorities and agencies to work closely together to safeguard the nature conservation interest of this outstanding site, in balance with the needs of its many users.
