International Appalachian Trail
The Coast Alive partners decided early on in the project that it would be very useful to team up with the International Appalachian Trail partnership. Now we all work together to develop routes, and to share marketing platforms for our many walkers. We always hope that some of the famous 'Through Hikers' from the Appalachian Trail will hit our North Sea trails. They will all be made very welcome.

Climate Risk
The Project has on certain parts of the work had great support and a very useful relationship with the UK Climate Impact Programme (UKCIP), based at Oxford. Their expertise, based on climate data and actual climate related incidents, is highly relevant and should be accessed and used far more than what is the case. Theirs is a very sound and business-related approach to the potential impacts of alterations in the climate. It is not the change we need to debate, it is the level of risk of damage as a result of the change, on which we need to focus.

A changing Climate
As we head for a period of milder more extreme weather cycles, the changes in climate do pose a range of risks for us, both to our natural and our cultural heritage. The project has looked at this range of challenges and risks and has worked with external experts to highlight the issues and to make the information accessible to people around us. The note below represents some of the thinking and the discussion points looked at during the course of the project. The documents added to the note are all valuable contributions to this learning.

Activities
The huge range of activities described in all of these short documents has been grouped into these cateories. The titles do not do justice to all the effort and all the excitement created by these little projects.

Themes
The three themes were decided at the first work session of the partnership. They reflect a genuine interest in exploring three areas of work. Over time, however, we have seen many of the Initiatives be of a nature that crosses into at least one if not both of the two other themes.
