can the virtual field trips be made available to parents / others? It's great to make sure the next generation are up to speed on coastal adaptation, but it's their parents that throw objections at projects...
Hi Kath, the virtual field trip to Amroth beach is available in Welsh and English on the PCF website here: https://www.pembrokeshirecoastalforum.org.uk/virtual-field-trip-to-amroth-to-investigate-climate-change/
Hi Alex, great talk, thanks. How do you contact community groups or wider society? Do you focus on schools and younger people? Or do you approach all age groups?
Hi Ruth, we usually reach out to communities via the Community Council in the first instance, then contact any stakeholders in the community that we know to help us talk to the right people, ideally in person. In the past we have done drop-ins, online workshops and individual emails/telephone calls to community members. With schools, we usually go via our headteacher contacts, of which we already have a wide network thanks to PCF's Coastal Curriculum Education Programme, info here: https://www.pembrokeshirecoastalforum.org.uk/projects/education/. We have already run a workshop targeted at a local Youth Committee and aim to work with more youth groups and young people in the future. Within the CCAT project our time is limited (the project wraps up in Dec 2021) so we are going to only work with a few targeted communities for the rest of the project and get their input on our approach to helping them formulate a climate change action plan.
I'm often put off using various things developed by projects etc because I have to download a separate app for each project - wales coastal path, marine code, good fish guide, cadw - clogging up my phone.How we can address this???
Our Marine Plan (2019) pays scant regard to coastal defence and related habitat creation (para 140)"- there will always be a residual risk that defence alone cannot address." (para 141) - so are we sleep-walking into a crisis ?
