Lay of the Land

Seven podcast episodes weave together voices of Maharees fishers, surfers, conservationists, food-growers, business owners, and visitors with those of climate, ecology and biodiversity experts, to reflect on past and future challenges and celebrate what they hold precious about Maharees.Interwoven through all seven episodes are the everyday sounds that form the backdrop to the community’s life, from larksong and lapping waves to the cries of visiting curlew and the rumble of farming machinery.Community members share stories of lives lived off the land and sea, of past storms and losses, and of what they hope for the future, while local conservationists explain how they took action on the coastal erosion threatening their home, providing a blueprint for other coastal communities facing similar challenges now and into the future.  The ‘Will It Stay Fine?’ podcast is made possible thanks to funding from the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment through Community Foundation Ireland. It was created by artists Emer Fallon, Zoë Uí Fhaoláin Green and Silke Michels and the Maharees community, with technical support by Chris Somers, as a creative response to Neart na Machairí, a two-year project run in partnership between Maharees Conservation Association CLG and Dingle Hub, funded by the Creative Ireland Programme under its Creative Climate Action Fund II.
