About the Design
Come rain or shine we need to help the puffins to continue living on our North Sea coast. With an increase in extremes of weather, the puffins need to fly further to find the sand eels they rely on for food. If we act now to reduce our impact on the climate, then hopefully we can prevent the puffins from moving away from their current nesting grounds.
