Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent marine memories and heritage event and personal interviews. We were absolutely delighted with the engagement and especially grateful to all who took the time to share their valuable insights into the past. So many valuable pieces of information were shared that help us to build a picture of our evolving marine environment, the changes in habitats and species past and present; as well as how we interact with it and depend on it as a community. We had so many inspired and fabulous conversations with people in the community, memories and experiences shared, walks, swims and site visits.
Chloe, the masters student leading this particular piece of work, is now writing her dissertation and building a multi layered digital map online.
The insights it reveals will be used locally to inform any decision we make about the ongoing management of our local marine environment.
Thank you once again, your participation was invaluable and very much appreciated.
