Great to spend day 1 of #FestivalofArchaeology at Altcar Rifle range with 22 Mersey & Dee Young archaeologists @yac-cba.bsky.social. Thanks to @coastsinmind.bsky.social for a fantastic session recording the Cold War anti-aircraft positions with scale drawings, photogrammetry & a drone #SkillBuilding

We were shocked and saddened by the sudden death of our friend and colleague Megan Dryland (née Clement) recently. Our deepest sympathies to all her friends and family. Megan was the best of CITiZAN, a warm, enthusiastic, endlessly helpful, brilliant archaeologist. We'll miss you always Meg.

Happy international salt marsh day! Salt marshes are great at reducing the impact of coastal surges, dampening the power of waves & absorbing flood water. A front line defence against coastal flooding. Check out examples of historic salt mashing flooding on our map cim.mola.org.uk/map/records/...

Yesterday our Sefton Coast team had a great day networking at the flood and coast expo in Liverpool. It was fascinating learning more about flood protection and coastal engineering. Bit windy down on the old docks! #FC2026 #CIWEM

We're delighted that the public contribution system for our digital map launched today! Have you got photos, postcards, or video showing how the coast has changed since 1925? Then we'd love you to add your memories to the map to help plot how our coastline is changing cim.mola.org.uk/map/contribute

Thanks to Lloyds Register Foundation for a top stakeholder day! We learned all about the exciting developments their team have been working on, including the role AI is playing in drawing data out of their shipping archives. Looking forward to using more records in our map @lrfheritage.bsky.social

We’re incredibly excited, our mapping platform is GO! It gathers evidence of coastal change by recording locals’ memories, postcards & holiday snaps – things which aren’t usually part of official climate change conversations.
