Muir is Tir

Muir is Tir is a partnership between islanders, local groups, other climate initiatives and researchers from disciplines of civil engineering, agri-engineering, marine ecology, fine art and anthropology.Working as a partnership we aim to develop nature-based solutions (NbS) to coastal change that promote a flourishing ecology whilst mitigating the harms of coastal erosion. Our research will also generate knowledge on collaborative working between communities and environmental science researchers. The project has been funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) part of UK Research and Innovation until 31st October 2028.
