To celebrate World Water Day, the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Hull Maritime Museum have released a captivating short film highlighting the rich marine wildlife and coastal habitats of the North Sea.
To mark World Water Day on Sunday 22nd March, and as part of the exciting transformation of the Hull Maritime Museum, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Hull Maritime have released a captivating new film showcasing the rich and diverse wildlife of the Yorkshire Coast.
This inspiring collaboration highlights the vital role our coastal habitats play in supporting unique species and celebrates the natural heritage found along one of the UK's most treasured shorelines.
The short film, designed to be child-friendly and engaging for all ages, showcases the stunning natural habitats stretching from Scarborough to Spurn Point. Through vibrant visuals and an engaging narrative, it aims to spark curiosity and encourage care for the unique marine and coastal environments of the North Sea.
Andy van der Schatte Olivier, Marine Programme Manager at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, said:
Yorkshire's seas are full of extraordinary life, from seals and puffins to hidden underwater meadows of seagrass. This film gives people a chance to dive beneath the waves and see the incredible marine world that's right on our doorstep. We're thrilled to work with Hull Maritime Museum to share the beauty and importance of our local seas, and to inspire everyone to help protect them for the future.
Robin Diaper, Curator of Maritime and Social History, said:
We want to draw people's attention to the richness of the wildlife along the Yorkshire coast, and this inspiring film is a beautiful, accessible way to inspire wonder and appreciation for the incredible natural heritage we have on our doorstep.
It's a fantastic example of how Hull Maritime is connecting our city's proud maritime heritage with the natural world around us, helping people of all ages understand and value the remarkable wildlife along our coast through this partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
The film is one of several new digital features being introduced as part of the museum's major redevelopment, which will offer visitors fresh perspectives on Hull's maritime heritage.
Visitors will be able to enjoy the film as part of the new displays when the museum reopens, helping to instil an appreciation in these special places and the animals that live in them.
