Making Space for Sand

The aim of the Making Space for Sand project is to identify the effects of climate change, past, present and future by information gathering and analysis in partnership with the University of Plymouth, South
- West Coastal Monitoring, Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Cornwall Council. This data will then be used for modelling and visualisation of these changes in order to provide an evidence base and enable engagement with the voluntary sector and community networks to develop local resilience plans.

The Community Engagement Project Lead will support the Making Space for Sand project in building community resilience to the impacts associated with rising seas and coastal flooding and erosion. The aim of community engagement will be to gather information on stakeholder understanding of global warming, sea level rise and its local impacts. Simple surveys will be used to gauge how well community understanding has improved as they become more involved in the project. This learning will be used by coastal communities to help them improve their response to coastal flooding events through the creation of Community Resilience Action Briefs (CRABs) and on a small number of sites the development of
Coastal Adaptation Plans (CAPs), which in some instances will deliver change through small scale capital interventions.

The post holder will develop collaborative relationships with the voluntary sector and coastal communities to articulate local impacts of climate change and identify steps to reduce vulnerability.

The postholder will work collaboratively with other officer(s) within Cornwall Community Flood Form to facilitate engagement activities and organise conference events and create resilience within the project.
