Community Engagement Interview

Three updates for the Communicating Sustainability hub below.

New Interview

Guillem Colom Montero and I have just had an interview discussing  community engagement and coastal restoration in the Muir is Tir project with Monica MacLeod from Castlebay Community School; Heather Lynch from Glasgow Caledonian University and Bill Austin from St Andrews University.   

The four-year project, Muir is Tìr (Land and Sea) – Adapting to Coastal Change on Barra and Vatersay, focuses on tackling coastal erosion while promoting environmental and community wellbeing. The islands of Barra and Vatersay are significantly affected by erosion, particularly along the sand dunes and beaches, due to exposure to storms and rising sea levels of the Atlantic Ocean. The coastal erosion threatens businesses, homes and landmarks. Natural ways to manage erosion in past projects elsewhere by the University have involved using shellfish reefs or timber structures.
