Activities

We are tackling five major issues with innovative solutions. This will allow nature to thrive and be resilient from source-to-sea – now and in the future and especially in the context of a changing climate.

Wildlife Disturbance

Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve is receiving additional support from the LIFE WADER project to help them in their mission to reduce wildlife disturbance. Find out more about this activity.

Water Quality

WADER is working to improve the water quality of the Tweed catchment with projects such as scientific modelling and planting swatches of trees. Find out more about this activity.

Macroalgae

High levels of nitrates in the coastal waters around Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve are causing large mats of algae to form. Find out more about this activity.

Invasive Species

Targeting invasive species across the riparian (riverbank), coastal and marine areas of Northumberland and the Tweed Estuary, WADER is exploring new and innovative non-chemical ways of removing and controlling new and existing INNS and protecting native species and sensitive habitats from their encroachment. Find out more about this activity.

Demonstration Projects

In addition to our core project work, WADER will also pilot innovative approaches to reduce diffuse pollution, manage invasive species, tackle macroalgae and reduce wildlife disturbance through a series of demonstration activities in partnership with various landowners and stakeholders. Find out more about this activity.
