On 4 October 2009, Islanders formed a human chain along the beach for the A Line in the Sand protest led by the then president of the National Trust for Jersey, Mike Stentiford.
The organisation said that the event sent out a clear message that Islanders wanted a halt to the over-development of sensitive coastal locations.
Today, the trust’s chief executive, Charles Alluto, said that while the demonstration led to States Members enacting measures to protect the coastline, stunning locations were still under threat.
