Context

A project called Solway Coast and Marine Project (SCAMP) which aims to generate innovation in restoration of natural capital of the Solway Firth through research and development of habitat restoration techniques for 4 key habitats/species: native oysters, seagrass, salt marsh and coastal woodlands. This £20 million programme will run for 10-15 years and will deliver a new marine research centre in Stranraer.

What we did

We supported the Solway Coast and Marine Project engagement process for Only Human Ltd creating an experience futures workshop called Solway Lab 2038 and developing the report for the project. The workshop we designed transported people into the concept of becoming a ‘Coastodian’ of the Solway Firth and making decisions about the natural environment both surrounding it and within it.

Similar to the River Council in Valencia, members of the public were invited to pledge to support the coastline and make decisions in it’s favour whilst balancing stakeholders, both human and non-human that live alongside it’s 9 coastal communities.
