As an island nation with thousands of miles of coastline ranging from rocky shores to sandy beaches, the United Kingdom has an important relationship with the seaside. For some people it's a source of employment, whilst for many it's a treasured environment that provides the opportunity for holidays, sport and leisure. It's a place that can have a positive impact on our health and wellbeing through an appreciation of the diverse nature and landscapes that can be found there. MoDiP’s current exhibition, Beside the sea, celebrates the fun of the seaside and considers the important issues of inclusivity, material value, pollution, and the use of recycled ocean plastics.
