Project Neptune, also known as Enterprise Neptune, is a long-term project of the National Trust to acquire or put under covenant a substantial part of the Welsh, English and Northern Irish coastline. In 1999 it was relaunched as the Neptune Coastline Campaign. The Project currently looks after {{convert|710|mi|km}} of British coastline.[1] It is named for the Roman god of the sea. The Project began in May 1965 with the acquisition of Whiteford Burrows in the Gower Peninsula.[2][3] The aim was to protect the coastline from being developed or industrialised.[3] By 1973 the project had reached its original £2 million fundraising target and looked after {{convert|338|mi|km}} of coastline.[2] By 1986 the National Trust had raised £8.75 million through Project Neptune.[2] By its 50th anniversary in May 2015 the Trust had acquired {{convert|574|mi|km}} of coastline through the project, bringing its total holding to {{convert|775|mi|km}}.[4] The Project owns some of the UK's most iconic coast including land near the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, {{convert|5.5|mi|km}} of the White Cliffs of Dover and The Needles.[2][4] The project includes four World Heritage Sites and nine lighthouses.[3] The Project has not been completely successful in achieving its ambitions, having had its £1 million bid for Land's End turned down in 1981.[2] The Project is currently focussed on the maintenance of the coastline that it already owns, particularly with regard to coastal management.[1] References1. ^1 Neptune Coastline Campaign information at the National Trust {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090627064934/http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-trust/w-support/w-donations/w-appeals_and_campaigns/w-donate-neptune_coastline.htm |date=2009-06-27 }} {{-}}{{UK-org-stub}}{{environment-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 National Trust: Neptune Coastline Campaign, the story so far {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101231133812/http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-trust/w-support/w-donations/w-appeals_and_campaigns/w-donate-neptune_coastline/w-donate-neptune-sofar.htm |date=2010-12-31 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Coast: Looking after our everchanging shores|url=https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/documents/coast-looking-after-our-ever-changing-shores.pdf|publisher=National Trust|accessdate=21 November 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=Fifty years of Neptune Coastline campaign|url=https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/fifty-years-of-neptune-coastline-campaign-|publisher=National Trust|accessdate=21 November 2017|language=en}} 6 : National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|Coasts of the United Kingdom|Conservation in England|Conservation in Wales|Environmental organizations established in 1965|1965 establishments in the United Kingdom |
