Valuing Nature for Wellbeing: Narratives of Socio-ecological Change in Dynamic Intertidal Landscapes

Abstract: Contributing to the cultural ecosystem services literature, this paper draws on the in-depth place narratives of two coastal case-study sites in Wales (UK) to explore how people experience and understand landscape change in relation to their sense of place, and what this means for their wellbeing. Our place narratives reveal that participants understand coastal/intertidal landscapes as complex socio-ecological systems filled with competing legitimate claims that are difficult to manage. Such insights suggest t… Show more

“…Being outside and fresh air were often mentioned in tandem, reflecting a desire for escapism and refuge, e.g., "To get some fresh air and get away from all the 'screens' in the house" [P79]. In a similar tone to the mentions of bird migratory patterns, the seasons code recorded an awareness and desire to "experience the rhythm of the seasons" [P170], supporting other work on the importance of cyclical natural processes in bringing people to wetlands [105]. The desire for participants to be in and to view pleasant environments (24 MUs, 1.6%) and to be in and near wetlands/water (12 MUs, 0.8%) was also captured.…”

“…Indeed, the approaches to coastal management—and local responses to these—have been quite different in the two locations. Notably, at Laugharne (Taf), where there is a policy of managed realignment, the local community rejected the construction of a surge barrier due to aesthetic concerns (Roberts et al, 2021; South Wales Coastal Group, 2012). At Fairbourne (Mawddach), the policy for after 2055 of ‘no active intervention’ has been met with local opposition and media coverage as villagers face the prospect of losing their homes to rising sea levels (Harries, 2020).…”
