BY THE SEA

Environmental psychology is the study of how the natural environment makes us feel, think and behave. Interdisciplinary researchers in this area such as Deborah Cracknell are discovering the tangible benefits of breathing in the fresh sea air, such as reduced heart rate, and improvement in mood, serotonin levels and mental health. Intuition and instinct meet modern science, as the therapeutic benefits of being in, on or by the sea are explained and explored.
