Those living less than a kilometer from the sea were 22 percent less likely to develop mental health problems than those living more than 50 kilometers from the coast. In low-income families, the chance rose to no less than 40 percent.
According to lead researcher Dr. This study, Jo Garret, shows for the first time that low-income people living close to the coast have fewer psychological problems than their peers in the interior. “This should encourage governments to focus more on coastal regions.”
