Jurassic Coast Trust Ambassador Steve Belasco is a marine photographer documenting our World Heritage Site entirely from offshore. Here he begins a monthly blog where he will be highlighting an image that has a particular significance to him and briefly explaining why.

The Jurassic Coast Trust are calling for public support to catapult the development of a proposed new museum dedicated to the outstanding geology, palaeontology and geomorphology of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site with the launch of a crowdfunding platform and benefit event in early 2023.

Just like the 95 miles of protected Dorset and East Devon Coast, the organisation responsible for its protection and conservation, is evolving and changing.

In response to a turbulent couple of years and ongoing challenges, we have developed our business strategy which puts the conservation needs of the Site and wishes of the local communities at the heart of our work programme.

Over the past couple of years, the Jurassic Coast Trust has been finding out just what it is that draws people here and what makes the Jurassic Coast a 'special place' for them.

We spent time developing our digital plans to create a new, all inclusive website which reflects the experiences and curiosity of visitors to the Site. We are delighted to announce that our site is now live!

Jurassic Coast Trust Ambassador and marine photographer Steve Belasco has just published his latest book, The Jurassic Coast From The Sea… and it’s a bit special.

On Thursday 11^th August 2022, Jurassic Coast Trust Members had the opportunity to visit a working Portland Stone Quarry Mine – Albion Stone. The Isle of Portland in Dorset is famous for its stone quarrying. Portland stone has been used to build iconic structures like St Paul’s Cathedral, the British Museum and the United Nations HQ in New York.
