Partnerships

Coastal Spotlight considers collaborations that are relevant to readers interested in coasts and coastal places, and that can be described clearly without blurring the line between editorial coverage and commercial material.

Suitable collaborations

We consider clearly scoped educational projects, commissioned explainers and relevant partner placements. Proposals should explain the subject, intended audience, format, proposed timing and any commercial relationship or claims that would need review.

How material is labelled

Sponsored or partner-created material is labelled to make its relationship clear. Editorial coverage remains separate, and payment or collaboration does not buy a favourable editorial conclusion or imply endorsement.

How to propose a project

Use the Contact page and select the partnership option. Include enough detail for us to understand the proposed work and identify any conflicts, review needs or limits. We do not promise acceptance or publication.
