Across Skye and Raasay collaborations with community trusts explore the impact of the climate emergency on the islands, reimagining ways to re-common the coast to prioritise the wellbeing of humans and non-humans alike.

Through a collaborative process of workshops in Raasay and Uig, residents were invited to imagine new ways to manage the foreshore that enhance biodiversity, and improve water quality and food sovereignty for the Highlands and Islands.

Skye-based marine biologist, Hayley Wolcott, led citizen science workshops for members of the community and school pupils and biology students. She shared research techniques and skills to help monitor the health of the intertidal zone, including species identification, biodiversity monitoring and water sampling.

Events to date were supported by Gaia Art Foundation and Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation, Highlands and Islands Community Climate Change and The National Lottery Community Fund.
