Using VR to Engage Communities

The Inner Forth intertidal habitat - and the species that use it - is threatened by a number of factors, including climate-driven sea level rise, disturbance and new development. RSPB Skinflats underwent a process known as Managed Realignment to restore valuable habitat on the site and we use this site in our virtual reality experience to demonstrate how it worked to increase biodiversity and decreased the flood risk for the reserve. 

Alloa Inch (owned by Scottish Wildlife Trust) is one site at risk of uncontrolled inundation from the Firth of Forth, should the existing sea defences breach. 

This activity will use Virtual Reality (VR) to show communities what Alloa Inch and, potentially, other areas along the Forth, would look like if the defences were to be breached - both in a controlled and uncontrolled manner.
