Harper’s Island Wetlands
Community Engagement in Nature Restoration
Harper’s Island is a small low-lying island near Glounthaune in the northern section of Cork Harbour, Ireland. This case study highlights key processes, partners, skills, and contributions which made this a very
successful community-based nature restoration project.
INTRODUCTION
HOW DID THE PROJECT DEVELOP
OVER TIME?
This case study was funded under the European Commission’s Horizon Europe-funded A-A Agora project (https://a-aagora.eu/). The A-A Agora project focuses on the need to protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity, to protect valuable ecosystems located in coastal communities, and to mitigate the effects of climate change. The case study within the Cork Demonstration Area of A-A Agora was compiled through desk research and through conducting semi-structured interviews with members of the Harper’s Island Wetlands steering committee, BWI members, and Cork County Council staff and elected members. The case study design and approach was co-created with the steering committee.
