A disease or parasite new to UK waters may have caused the deaths of thousands of shellfish along the North East and North Yorkshire coast, a report said.

A panel of 12 experts found it was "about as likely as not" a new pathogen caused the die-off in late 2021.

They said it was "very unlikely" regular dredging of the River Tees caused it, while capital dredging was "exceptionally unlikely".
