'A new national nature reserve on the Lincolnshire coast has been described as
a "landmark moment for nature recovery".
Lincolnshire Coronation Coast National Nature Reserve (LCCNNR) is the first
site announced in 'King's Series of National Nature Reserves' plan.
LCCNNR brings together the existing Donna Nook and Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe
Dunes reserves.
The new site covers 12 sq miles (31 sq km) along 18 miles (30km) of coastline.
LCCNNR contains a rich variety of sand dunes, salt marshes, mudflats and
freshwater marshes which are of international importance, Natural England said.
It will support breeding and over-wintering birds, natterjack toads, plants and
insects, it added.
During Queen Elizabeth II's reign, 221 national nature reserves were declared.
The King's series is expected to see five major sites named every year for the
next five years.
It is hoped the LCCNNR will provide increased opportunities for local people to
access and experience their own coastline.'
