BUSINESSES in Morecambe have teamed up to support a new website promoting birdwatching in the Bay. The Morecambe Entertainment Association (MEA) will be handing over a sponsorship cheque to the local representatives of the RSPB which will go towards developing the for the Tern of Events website.

The new site will help to promote a wide range of activities, including guided walks and family discovery shows, which are undertaken by the RSPB until late in October.

The idea of sponsorship grew out of discussions at the regular meetings between

the MEA, and representatives of the City Council's Tourism and Arts and Events

Services. Cllr Tricia Heath commented, "This is an excellent example of business in Morecambe supporting the Tern Project and the importance of Morecambe Bay's wildlife for attracting visitors, year round, to the resort. The Tern of Events programme helps explain Morecambe Bay's unique features to visitors young and old." The web site address is:
