## Description
The Tees Protected Site Strategy (PSS) is transforming how Teesside balances its industrial heritage with nature recovery, bringing together environmental organisations, major industries and local communities to protect the internationally important Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast designated sites. This collaborative initiative directly supports the regional ambitions to become the UK's clean energy powerhouse whilst ensuring the Tees estuary remains a thriving habitat for seals, migratory birds and other wildlife that depends on its mudflats and salt marshes. Sand dunes play a huge role in coastal protection, as well as host a diverse and high-quality invertebrate assemblage associated with sand dune habitats. The Tees Bay dunes condition status is unfavourable - declining, and the dunes network faces a multitude of pressures. Working at landscape-scale to develop a long-term (30-year) sustainable strategy for the dune system will provide evidence-based information to inform decision-making and direct actions for nature recovery. This project is seeking a provider to work collaboratively with landowners and land managers to develop and produce a 30-year Tees Bay Dunes Management Plan.
