Study: Living near the sea good for mental health

Study Finds - A new study conducted at the University of Exeter finds that living close to the coast may have long-lasting benefits and supports better overall mental health. This study is especially noteworthy because it is one of the most comprehensive investigations ever into the mental health effects of living near the sea. In all, researchers analyzed data collected from almost 26,000 respondents in England.

After accounting for other possible contributing factors, the study concludes that living in a large town or city close to England’s coast is linked to improved mental health among people in the lowest earning households.
