Joanna Hambly, Ellie Graham and Tom Dawson - Scotland's Coastal Heritage at Risk
Thousands of sites are at risk of destruction from coastal processes, yet with no developer to pay for recording, many sites are at real risk of being lost. SCAPE has worked with Historic Scotland and Local Authorities to prioritise action using data collected during years of coastal survey, whittling the list to 1,000 threatened sites of regional or national significance. This is still a large number, and to aid the making of difficult choices, SCAPE has launched the Scotland's Coastal Heritage at Risk Project (SCHARP). Volunteers are encouraged to report on site condition and to propose action using smartphone technology and an interactive website. Project funds are allocated to community groups to undertake a range of projects at sites that have high public value. The outcomes of SCHARP will underpin action plans for coastal heritage which will inform local and national policy. This paper will explain how this citizen science project works, evaluating lessons learned after 18 months of activity. Using case studies, including the community project at Wemyss Caves , where local action has resulted in a debate in the Scottish Parliament, we will consider the impact that engaging local stakeholders can have on moving archaeological issues up the political agenda.
