A mixed-methods approach to assessing the public acceptability of coastal management interventions against coastal erosion and flooding. The case of Golspie, Sutherland.

While the survey is not directly feeding into or part of the Green Growth Accelerator Programme being run currently by Highland Council we are supporting Marion’s collection of survey data by promoting it in Golpsie and hosting on our site as we feel the final paper may and research may be helpful in gaining insight to further community engagement.
