CLIMAVORE: On Tidal Zones’ October block of programming will take stock of the project’s history over the past five years, celebrating local partnerships, conversations, alternative ingredients, economy, industry and looking at the climate crisis. We aim to acknowledge the complexed, nuanced interspecies relationships between ourselves, the coasts and of course (inter)tidal zones.

We have a series of events throughout October in relation to this, which you can find here:

The World's Who's Oyster? - 6 October 2021 7pm

An online event examining local ways of responding to human-induced climate change by examining local ecosystems. It will feature Ailsa McLellan, Dr Kathryn A. Burnett and Professor Emeritus Michael Danson and Cooking Sections as speakers, chaired by Ainslie Roddick.

Climate Research Walk - 8 October 11am

An outdoor walk with local climate researcher Eilidh Towers, situated around the Scorrybreac shore and discussing how climate change can be observed via the Arctica Islandica clam shell.
