The almond-shaped island straddles the county boundary between the counties of East Riding of Yorkshire to the north and North Lincolnshire which otherwise runs over tidal water roughly along the centre line of the estuary. Parts of the island fall within the boundaries of four civil parishes. Despite its name the largest part of the island is in the Yorkshire parish of Blacktoft and much of the remainder is in the neighbouring parish of Broomfleet. Much smaller parts of the southeast coast of the island fall within the Lincolnshire parishes of Alkborough and Whitton.[1] Only in recent years has the island emerged sufficiently from the mud and sand bank known as Whitton Sand to be mapped by the Ordnance Survey as a new feature.[2] Whitton Sands forms a part of the Humber Wildfowl Refuge. Whitton Island is owned by Associated British Ports who have been in discussion with the RSPB during 2014 over its future management.[3] In March 2017 the RSPB signed a 50-year lease on the island to manage it as a Nature Reserve.[4] References1. ^{{cite map|publisher=Ordnance Survey |scale= 1:25,000 |title=Explorer mapping }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2002/10_october/14/insideout_islandparadise.shtml|title=Press Office - Inside Out island paradise|publisher=BBC|accessdate=17 March 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rspb.org.uk/news/351964-exploring-uncharted-territory-on-the-humber|title=Exploring uncharted territory on the Humber|date=22 August 2013|publisher=RSPB|accessdate=17 March 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://ww2.rspb.org.uk/our-work/rspb-news/news/438454-rspbs-newest-reserve-is-an-island-paradise-for-birds-|title=RSPB's newest reserve is an island paradise for birds|date=3 March 2017|publisher=RSPB|accessdate=11 September 2018}} 6 : Landforms of the East Riding of Yorkshire|Landforms of Lincolnshire|Islands of England|Islands of the Humber|Nature reserves in Lincolnshire|Nature reserves in the East Riding of Yorkshire |
