Episode notes
With nearly half the Irish population living within a few miles of the coast, rising sea levels and extreme weather are putting our coastal areas at risk. Both coastal erosion and urban flooding are increasing dangers for these communities, many of which also face challenges of economic and demographic sustainability.
How can we prepare our coasts for the decades ahead?
Featuring Martha Farrell, co-founder of the Maharees Conservation Association CLG, and Mary Bourke, Professor of Geomorphology at Trinity College Dublin, this episode considers how science can be utilised to support sustainable communities and prepare our coasts for the future.
