ABOUT CHERISH FAOI CHERISH

CHERISH is a yumlve year Ireland-Wales project bringing together four partners across the two nations and will run until December 2021 It will receive euro41 million of EU funds through the Ireland Wales Co operation Programme 2014-2020

CHERISH is a truly cross-disciplinary project aimed at raising awareness and understanding of the past present and near future impacts of climate change storminess and extreme weather events on the rich cultural heritage of our sea and coast We will be linking land and sea and employing a variety of techniques and methods to study some of the most iconic coastal locations in Ireland and Wales These range from terrestrial and aerial laser scanning geophysical survey and seabed mapping through to palaeoenvironmental sampling excavation and shipwreck monitoring

FACING THE STORMS AGHAIDH A THABHAIRT AR NA STOIRMEACHA

During October 2017 the south-west coastlines of Ireland and Wales were battered by storms Ophelia and Brian within a week of one another CHERISH survey teams were out on the ground in the days following Storm Ophelia to assess the aftermath across study areas in County Wexford Ireland and Pembrokeshire Wales Here the beneft of our baseline monitoring from the air earlier in 2017 became apparent Aerial photographs taken during Irish baseline surveys in late September showed the sand bar and breach at the southern end of Ladyrsquos Island Lake before the storms Subsequent drone aerial photos taken by the Discovery Programme on 18 October recorded changes to the sand bar and at other points along this vulnerable coast Such long-term monitoring will continue during the fve-year project

FACING THE STORMS AGHAIDH A THABHAIRT AR NA STOIRMEACHA

During October 2017 the south-west coastlines of Ireland and Wales were battered by storms Ophelia and Brian within a week of one another CHERISH survey teams were out on the ground in the days following Storm Ophelia to assess the aftermath across study areas in County Wexford Ireland and Pembrokeshire Wales Here the beneft of our baseline monitoring from the air earlier in 2017 became apparent Aerial photographs taken during Irish baseline surveys in late September showed the sand bar and breach at the southern end of Ladyrsquos Island Lake before the storms Subsequent drone aerial photos taken by the Discovery Programme on 18 October recorded changes to the sand bar and at other points along this vulnerable coast Such long-term monitoring will continue during the fve-year project

FACING THE STORMS AGHAIDH A THABHAIRT AR NA STOIRMEACHA

During October 2017 the south-west coastlines of Ireland and Wales were battered by storms Ophelia and Brian within a week of one another CHERISH survey teams were out on the ground in the days following Storm Ophelia to assess the aftermath across study areas in County Wexford Ireland and Pembrokeshire Wales Here the beneft of our baseline monitoring from the air earlier in 2017 became apparent Aerial photographs taken during Irish baseline surveys in late September showed the sand bar and breach at the southern end of Ladyrsquos Island Lake before the storms Subsequent drone aerial photos taken by the Discovery Programme on 18 October recorded changes to the sand bar and at other points along this vulnerable coast Such long-term monitoring will continue during the fve-year project

FACING THE STORMS AGHAIDH A THABHAIRT AR NA STOIRMEACHA

During October 2017 the south-west coastlines of Ireland and Wales were battered by storms Ophelia and Brian within a week of one another CHERISH survey teams were out on the ground in the days following Storm Ophelia to assess the aftermath across study areas in County Wexford Ireland and Pembrokeshire Wales Here the beneft of our baseline monitoring from the air earlier in 2017 became apparent Aerial photographs taken during Irish baseline surveys in late September showed the sand bar and breach at the southern end of Ladyrsquos Island Lake before the storms Subsequent drone aerial photos taken by the Discovery Programme on 18 October recorded changes to the sand bar and at other points along this vulnerable coast Such long-term monitoring will continue during the fve-year project

FACING THE STORMS AGHAIDH A THABHAIRT AR NA STOIRMEACHA

During October 2017 the south-west coastlines of Ireland and Wales were battered by storms Ophelia and Brian within a week of one another CHERISH survey teams were out on the ground in the days following Storm Ophelia to assess the aftermath across study areas in County Wexford Ireland and Pembrokeshire Wales Here the beneft of our baseline monitoring from the air earlier in 2017 became apparent Aerial photographs taken during Irish baseline surveys in late September showed the sand bar and breach at the southern end of Ladyrsquos Island Lake before the storms Subsequent drone aerial photos taken by the Discovery Programme on 18 October recorded changes to the sand bar and at other points along this vulnerable coast Such long-term monitoring will continue during the fve-year project
