🌊💧Calling all Scottish residents (18+) to help us understand access to blue spaces (beaches, lochs, rivers, ponds, and other water bodies).

We want to hear about a diverse range of people and communities!

It has been a busy summer with lots of blue space accessibility surveys. Ponds, parks, rivers, beaches, tidal pools, Blue Access Scotland was there!

We still want to hear about your experience with blue spaces in Scotland (open until end of September):

Are you into heat vulnerability in urban areas?

A new paper co-authored with Thomas Lagelouze, Julia Hidalgo and Guillaume Dumas, is out! 

Collaborating with and learning from them was such an amazing experience.

"Swimming access will become an inevitable part of the urban design vocabulary".

Accessibility, inclusion, and equity should be at the forefront of this new blue space agenda.

I see a tidal pool and I think of the great potential these have for the provision of safe and inclusive blue space activities.

This is St Monas tidal pool in Fife, visited today for a Blue Access Scotland accessibility survey.

On today's episode of Blue Access Scotland: Caird Park Ponds!

Another #bluespace #accessibility survey completed. Ducks, deers, rabbits, and one early morning runner were spotted.

Unfortunately accessibility wasn't great 🫤

Such a great need indeed

"...there is such a great need, there has been so little change, so little positive movement in terms of disabled people's rights."
