Residents have helped to restore key habitats on the shore at Hest Bank as part of a £150m project to improve the coastline.
As part of the Our Future Coast scheme, people have been building and installing special devices to speed up the regeneration of salt marshes.
The idea behind the sediment trapping devices, made from natural materials, is to mitigate climate change, support wildlife and reduce flood risk.
A team who signed up for a workshop on Monday were out on the beach trialling the structures to restore salt marsh.

"These are sediment trapping devices which have been designed, made and installed by the community, in conjunction with Siskin Asset Management, Morecambe Bay Partnership and Slyne with Hest Parish Council," said a Lancaster City Council spokesperson.
"They've been designed by Lancaster University's Coastal Nature Lab project to see if we can speed up the regeneration of salt marshes at Hest Bank and are made of natural materials which are readily available.
"They are being monitored, so if you see them on your travels, please leave them where they are.
"This project is funded by Defra as part of the £150 million Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme which is managed by the Environment Agency to develop and test new approaches to resilience tailored to local communities."
