We need information on structures along your coast

There are many artificial structures along our Irish Sea coasts, such as sea walls, piers, breakwaters and harbours. Many more are likely to be needed in the coming years to help expanding coastal communities adapt to the sea level rise and extreme weather patterns we are expecting. Existing structures will also need to be modified to remain fit for purpose. To ensure future coastal construction projects are sensitive to nature, we need to learn about existing structures and their role in society and the environment.

Our researchers are looking for interesting facts about structures along your coast. For example, when were they built, and for what purpose? What materials are they built from? How important are they to the local community? This is where you can help!
