As part of World Listening Day, Sounding Coastal Change present a 24 hour live broadcast from Blakeney Quay. It includes a dawn chorus recorded at NWT Cley Marshes and at 4pm a round table discussion with NWT head of People and Wildlife, David North and other key conservation figures of the north Norfolk coast.
Sounding Coastal Change is a research project about social and environmental change in North Norfolk, exploring different ways of thinking about coastal change and imagining what kind of coast we might wish to see in the future.
The idea is to use sound, music and different kinds of listening, to explore the ways in which the coast is changing and how people’s lives are changing with it. Using sound to do this enables us all to bring together the many human and non-human voices and sounds that together create the coast as a ‘living landscape’.
The project home is Blakeney village and the research activities focus upon the village, Blakeney National Nature Reserve, and North Norfolk more generally including, for example Cley Marshes, Sheringham, Holt, Salthouse, Cromer, Happisburgh and Wells-next-the sea.
