Photographs taken by young people - including one of a stunning sunset in Morecambe - will go on display at the British Academy in London.

The two special photo exhibitions are part of a Lancaster University research project designed to give young people a voice and visibility in coastal and marine decision-making.

One of the images, taken by a young local photographer, depicts a beautiful sunset over Heysham.

All participants said that they could not envisage living away from the coast.

They called for regular, sustained contact and talks between local authorities and young people to ensure their views were considered.

“This is very much about the importance of arts in connecting young people to the blue space," said Dr Germond-Duret.

“Any form of arts, photography, painting, sketching are important to invite young people to explore connections with the blue space, and what matters to them.
