River Tees
The River Tees (), in England, rises on the eastern slope of Cross Fell in the North Pennines and flows eastwards for 85 miles (137 km) to reach the North Sea in the North East of England. The modern-day history of the river has been tied with the industries on Teesside in its lower reaches, where it has provided the means of import and export of goods to and from the North East England. The need for water further downstream also meant that reservoirs were built in the extreme upper reaches, such as Cow Green.

South Gare
South Gare is an area of reclaimed land and breakwater on the southern side of the mouth of the River Tees in Redcar and Cleveland, England.
It is accessed by taking the South Gare Road (private road) from Fisherman's Crossing at the western end of Tod Point Road in Warrenby.
Before the building of South Gare, permanent dry land stopped at Tod Point, at the western end of Warrenby, and there was only Coatham Sands and the mudflats of Bran Sands.
The creation of South Gare extends this by a further 2.5 miles (4.0 km).
The building of South Gare offers a safe harbour in stormy weather to ships off the coast and allowed for the dredging of the River Tees entrance.
South Gare itself was a settlement but the houses there were demolished many years ago.

Teesmouth Lifeboat Station
Teesmouth Lifeboat Station was latterly situated on the mouth of the River Tees, on the South Gare, in North Yorkshire, England.
A lifeboat was first placed at Teesmouth in 1829 by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), with management passing to the Tees Bay Lifeboat and Shipwreck Society (TBLSS) in 1843. It is thought that the station ceased operating sometime around 1854, when the TBLSS established a new station at Middlesbrough.
The Teesmouth Lifeboat Station was re-established in 1911 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), operating until 2006, when it was decided that there was sufficient lifeboat cover provided by lifeboats at Hartlepool and Whitby.

2021 North-East England shellfish die-off
The 2021 North-East England shellfish die-off was a series of occasions where a mass of shellfish were found on beaches on the Durham and Yorkshire Coasts in northern England, either dead, or in stages of dying.
These events first occurred in October 2021, with re-occurrences in February, and September 2022, with concerns being raised at the amount of crabs, lobsters and other marine animals found dead. An initial investigation by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) stated a large algal bloom had killed off the marine life. However, those working in the fishing industry and independent scientists, claimed the deaths was caused by pyridine poisoning, an effect of dredging in the River Tees.
A second government investigation, published in January 2023, stated neither an algal bloom or pyridine poisoning could explain the deaths over such a long period of time, wide area and the unusual twitching in crabs. The scientists concluded that a disease, "novel pathogen" was the "most likely cause of the mortality."

Seaton Dunes and Common
Seaton Dunes and Common (grid reference NZ535285) is a 312.1 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Hartlepool, County Durham, England notified in 1966. Part of it is a Local Nature Reserve.
SSSIs are designated by Natural England, formally English Nature, which uses the 1974–1996 county system. This means there is no grouping of SSSIs by Hartlepool unitary authority, or County Durham which is the relevant ceremonial county . As such Seaton Dunes and Common is one of 18 SSSIs in the Cleveland area of search.
