Partners: @WorldMonuments @ICOMOSUK @AmericanExpress & @BpoolCouncil

[ICOMOS-UK @ICOMOSUK]

Closing remarks @SeaChangeConf. It may be over for now, but we're sure this is just the beginning of many more projects and conversations. Huge thanks from us to the speakers, the attendees and the fellow organisers. @JohnD_WMFB @WorldMonuments @BpoolCouncil @bournemouthuni

[Dr Kathryn Ferry @SeasideFerry]

@SeaChangeConf is drawing to a close and it is now time for us all to go home and act to promote and protect our #coastal and #seaside #heritage as #ClimateChange happens. BUT it is also about everyone playing their part outside this forum. It is a challenge for all of us.

[John Darlington 𓅪 @JontyDarlington]

My thing is ‘spirit of place’ - the tangible & intangible DNA that makes one place different & special from another

For me it guides ALL conservation

I hope delegates @SeaChangeConf got a full blast of Blackpool’s spirit of place during the 3 days #SeaChangeConf

Afternoon panel discussion @SeaChangeConf What do we really know? #SeaChangeConf

[Salma Sabour, PhD @SalmaSabourG]

The climate of the Black Sea is shifting towards a Mediterranean climate. More flooding and landslides are observed and human intervention is intensifying the extent of these extreme events. More education is needed. Thanks
@gul_aktrk for the amazing talk! @SeaChangeConf

Global analysis of #shoreline change in 67 natural world UNESCO #heritage sites from ⁦@SalmaSabourG⁩ ⁦@UoSEngineering⁩ Key messages: human actions affect shoreline change on natural sites. Linear trends in shoreline change are the most extreme. ⁦@SeaChangeConf⁩

Delivered my first keynote presentation today on #climate impacts and #coastal #heritage and the loss for people that results @SeaChangeConf #SeaChangeConf #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis

[Dr Geoff Main @Geoff_Main]

Dr Axon (@1DrGeography) talking on the impacts of climate change to the US coastal heritage. This map of Boston shows large areas likely to be affected by future rises in sea level. People & communities at risk as much as coastal heritage in the present and future #SeaChangeConf

[Sally Brown @_sallybrown77]

Are we fixing the historic environment? Do we miss the heritage value?⁦@hannahfluck⁩ ⁦@HistoricEngland⁩ ⁦@SeaChangeConf⁩ Everyone navigates it differently

[Karen Averby 🌊 @KarenAverby]

@SeaChangeConf The historic environment is environment - whole of UK is pretty much result of human intervention over millennia @SeaChangeConf #SeaChangeConf
