Teesmouth National Nature Reserve is surrounded by one of the largest concentrations of heavy industry in Britain. The reserve covers 350 hectares in two sections separated by Hartlepool Power Station. North Gare lies to the north, and Seal Sands to the south. In the distance is the former Brent Delta platform. Brent Delta was one of the first platforms to be built in the very early days of Britain's oil and gas industry. It was about 115 miles (185km) north-east of Shetland in a cluster of four platforms which make up the Brent field. Its sister, Brent Bravo, produced its first oil in 1976. The 24,000 tonne Brent Delta platform was transported to Teeside in May 2017 to be decommissioned and scrapped.
