THANK YOU WATERNISH for your PARTICIPATION and HOSPITALITY

Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent marine memories and heritage event and personal interviews. We were absolutely delighted with the engagement and especially grateful to all who took the time to share their valuable insights into the past and present.

So many valuable pieces of information were shared that help us to build a picture of our evolving marine environment, the changes in habitats and species past and present; as well as how we interact with it and depend on it as a community. We had so many inspired and fabulous conversations with people in the community, memories and experiences shared, walks, swims and site visits.

Chloe, the masters student leading this particular piece of work into the recognitions and use of indigenous local marine knowledge, is now writing her dissertation and building a multi layered digital map online.

The insights it reveals will be used locally to inform any decision we make about the ongoing management of our local marine environment.

Thank you once again, your participation was invaluable and very much appreciated.

For anyone who was unable to participate in personal interviews you can take part in the online survey at this link

🛟 🚣‍♀️WATERNISH COASTAL COMMUNITY GATHERING
invites residents around Loch Bay to Share Stories of the Sea. 🐟⚓️

Residents, former residents and those with strong connections to the Waternish area are being invited to take part in a community gathering to share local knowledge, memories, stories and photographs of Waternish’s marine heritage, and how its changed over the years.

Gordon and Aileen at Divers Eye Boat Trips in collaboration with Waternish Wildlife Alliance are facilitating Chloe Mackley, a master's student from the University of Edinburgh, in her research project, which aligns with historical data gathering we are assimilating to build a story of Waternish’ changing coastal environment.

📌Chloe will be visiting Waternish from 17th–23rd June as part of research looking at how local knowledge of the marine environment is recognised in decisions about Scotland's seas.

She is interested in hearing about the knowledge, memories and traditions connected to Waternish, Loch Bay and the surrounding coast. This might include fishing as part of crofting or as a main livelihood, summer evenings spent fishing and what was caught, gathering shellfish, winkles or seaweed for food, collecting bird eggs for baking, watching wildlife along the shore, and the ways people used and travelled around the sea.

She is also keen to hear stories and tales passed down through generations, local place names and the stories behind them, songs connected to the sea, memories of fish traps and traditional practices, and observations of how the area has changed over time.

Have you noticed changes in the weather, wildlife, fish stocks, seabirds, the shape of the coastline or the way the sea is used? These observations are just as valuable as stories from the past.

A sort talk and community gathering will be held on Thursday 18th June at 5pm in Waternish Village Hall. The event will begin with a short introduction to the project, followed by an informal opportunity to share memories, stories, photographs and experiences of Waternish's marine heritage and how this translates to the present day.

Residents are encouraged to bring along old photographs, maps or other items they would be happy to talk about. Refreshments will be provided. Everyone is very welcome.

Anyone interested in finding out more, attending the event, or taking part in an interview can contact Chloe at [email protected] or on 07808 881975.
