This project is part of the DEFRA funded Flood & Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme, which is funding 25 national projects to build resilience to climate challenges like flooding and erosion through practical innovations.
The Our Future Cost project is focussing on two key innovations, community engagement and nature-based solutions, sustainable and natural alternatives to traditional hard engineered defence structures.
Morecambe Bay Partnership is supporting the community engagement delivery across seven of the Our Future Coast locations around Morecambe Bay.
Hear more about Our Future Coast in this episode of the Morecambe Bay Podcast where you’ll hear about volunteers using historic techniques like weaving baskets to trap sediment to help prevent erosion to our coastline.
