A new research programme will investigate and strengthen the resilience, wellbeing and sustainability of UK coastal communities.
Sustainable Development and Resilience of UK Coastal Communities (ROCC), led by the University of Exeter, is one of six new projects to receive a share of £9.2 million funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
The UKRI funding aims to “build the marine economy while protecting ecosystems and communities”.
ROCC will focus on diverse marine sectors in Devon and Cornwall to develop evidence, tools and partnerships that can be replicated around the UK.
It will develop a “nexus perspective” for resilience, wellbeing and sustainability – meaning that any solution for one objective must equally consider the other two areas.
