Many thanks to the volunteers who collected a whopping 380kg of waste from the beach! Not alone has this removed debris from out of the path of marine life, but it has also helped to spruce up the beach ahead of the next public holiday in June!

It has been a beautiful day by the seaside. We took the opportunity to start erecting temporary chestnut sand fencing in Zone A - Backstrand. The colours of the ocean made for an incredible backdrop! We fenced around the lifebuoy to ensure it is easily accessible. It was a breezy day, but the breeze is helping to build up sand behind the existing fencing. Many thanks to our volunteers!

Exciting news! Seafield Beach has been included in the DETECT project. Delivered by a research team from UCC and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, DETECT stands for Digital Environmental Technology for Enhanced Coastal Zone Management. DETECT is working to create digital twins of vulnerable coastal zones. This work will prove of enormous benefit to Seafield Beach. A digital twin enables simulations to be run that can inform future environmental policy and coastal management decisions. The image accompanying this post was taken by DETECT on April 18. Many thanks to https://www.ucc.ie/en/earthocean/projects/detect/. We are using initial discussions arising from the project, to help us target our programme of temporary chestnut sand fencing for 2026!

A very sincere thank you to the team of volunteers who did a fabulous job erecting the first section of temporary chestnut sand fencing in Zone B - front strand in Seafield today. We had perfect weather for the job. In prepping for today, we discovered that the height of sand deposited behind the timber posts has risen by approximately 30cm to 40cm in places across the beach. It’s very heartening to see nature based solutions working on Seafield beach!

Bath time on a Saturday afternoon for our bird friends! Fresh pools of water are ideal for this. They are doing a great job splashing the water down to their skin. Anything trapped under the feathers will be well cleaned away!
