Discipline of Geography's Dr Kevin Lynch working in collaboration with partners Leave No Trace Ireland, the CARO ASBN and the MSLETB just completed the project ‘Beaches & Dunes for Climate Adaptation: Community Training’. The project worked at 5 dune locations in the north west, with 100+ participants. A final event, on June 25th at the National Surf Centre in Sligo, drew in additional national stakeholders including the NPWS, OPW and local government. The event featured presentations, an exhibition and a field trip focused on addressing threats to coastal dunes along with agreement on the top priorities for coastal action. Arising from the project is dunes.ie: a national "one stop shop" for our sand dune resources.
