A seminar was held in November at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy to launch a new study looking at the opportunities for waterborne transport along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset and East Devon, and for wider links with Torbay and the Bournemouth- Poole- Christchurch conurbations.

The South West of England's four unique UNESCO World Heritage Sites have been brought together by a new website, making them even more accessible to everyone.

Elements of the Jurassic Coast interactive CD (still on sale at Visitor Centres along the coast) have now been compressed into a unique iPhone Application, free to download from iTunes.

In March 2009, thanks to support from the Fine Family Foundation, gigapan was introduced to the Dorset coast. Gigapan is a panoramic camera system like no other!

The official Jurassic Coast website remained a firm favorite with its global audience during 2009 - clocking up an astonishing 11.3 million hits. Just to track the statistics since going live, in 2007 a total 385,277 visits (daily average 1055) increased to 416,644 visits in 2008 (daily average (1141). 2009 has now exceeded both these previous years with 486,205 total visits - that is a daily average of 1336.
