A designated urban biosphere reserve in Sussex, The Living Coast stretches along the coast from Worthing to Seaford and north over the South Downs National Park to Wivelsfield and Newick in the Low Weald.
From the grassy South Downs down to the chalk-and-shingle coast and city streets, it embraces everyone and everything that lives within this area and makes life here possible.
UNESCO biospheres are areas with significant natural value, created to help us learn how to balance what people and nature need to flourish. If you live, work or visit this region, you are part of The Living Coast and can be a part of creating an environment that we can all enjoy now and in the future.
