Anita Rani begins a four-part journey along England's east coast, exploring the wildlife, landscapes and communities adapting to life on the edge of the sea. Her first stop is Northey Island in Essex, an internationally important refuge for threatened birds including curlew, lapwing and dunlin. With rising sea levels putting increasing pressure on coastal habitats, Anita finds out about an innovative conservation project using retired Thames barges to help protect the island's future, and meets volunteers working to safeguard vulnerable ringed plover nests using a simple but effective solution. Plus, Anita delves into the Countryfile archives to revisit some of the projects helping create more space for nature to thrive
