	The Heritage Jurassic Coast of Dorset England
		This puts the coast, which includes the beautiful cliffs of Golden Cap and the resort of Lyme Regis, on a par with the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids, the Grand Canyon and the Great Barrier Reef.
		The Dorset and east Devon coast was proposed because of its beauty and importance for fossils.
		Beneath the surface of this heritage Jurassic coast can still be seen reefs and fish which have not been devastated by the commercialisation suffered by the greater part of our English or European countryside and coastline.

	Heritage Coast: Durham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The newly defined Durham Heritage Coast is an attractive coastal landscape of magnesian limestone grasslands, cliffs, pebble and sandy beaches stretching between the two main conurbations of Tyne and Wear and Teeside.
		Until recently the Durham Coast was one of the most heavily polluted coastlines in Britain, a legacy from over a hundred years of dumping colliery waste from its six coal mines along the beaches.
		In recognition of the considerable improvements in the quality of the coastal landscape and the fine restored magnesian limestone grasslands, denes, cliffs and stacks, the area was defined as a Heritage Coast in March 2001 by the local authorities and the Countryside Agency.

	7.30 Report - 17/05/2004: Gold Coast puts heritage proposal forward
		PETER McCUTCHEON: The Gold Coast high rise of the 1960s and '70s are not to everyone's taste, but they form a part of Australia's most dynamic and garish skyline, and a division is emerging about whether they should be viewed as nostalgic kitsch, ageing eyesores or an important part of Australian history.
		Professor Brannock says to be listed on the heritage register it only has to meet one of a range of criteria, including architectural merit and history.
		PETER McCUTCHEON: Although the Gold Coast has plenty of detractors, it remains one of Australia's most popular holiday destinations and love it or hate it, architects like Arnold Wolthers argue it has a fascinating history, some of which could soon be lost.

		This part of the coast is the best known example of adjacent concordant and discordant coasts, displaying the differing coastal landforms which result from the action of the sea both with and across the geological ‘grain’ of the coast.
		The fame of the coast as a source of fine fossil material was also helped by the activities of the then world’s largest natural history agency, built up by the Weymouth hosier and glover Robert Damon (1814-1889) and his son Robert Ferris Damon (1845-1929).
		The coast is highly dynamic: the profile of cliffs and beaches is constantly changing, and in places the rates of change are rapid.
