from the European Centre for Environment & Human Health, Peninsula College
of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Exeter, has revealed that people living near the

from the Centre used data from the UK’s census to examine how health varied

the closer they live to the sea. The analysis also showed that the link between
living near the coast and good health was strongest in the most economically
deprived communities.
