"Public perceptions and uses of dykelands and tidal wetlands around the Minas Basin" by Kate Sherren, Dalhousie University
In the fall of 2022 and 2023, Dr. Kate Sherren’s research group at Dalhousie sent surveys to residents of counties around the Minas Basin to ask how they felt about and perhaps even used dykes, dykelands and tidal wetlands. Respondents were also asked about how they felt about options that would help these landscapes to adapt to climate change. These surveys were part of a five-year national project called NSERC ResNet, that looks at how production landscapes in Canada can be sustainably managed. The Bay of Fundy dykeland system was one of their six landscape case studies across the country. The case study has included research about a wide range of topics, including coastal protection, carbon sequestration, Indigenous values, and biodiversity. The surveys were deployed to capture uses, values and preferences at a population level for those living in homes (2022 survey) and apartments (2023 survey). This presentation will cover the results of both surveys, what we think those results may mean, but will also look to the attendees to help us interpret the results and ‘ground truth’ our insights in advance of publication.
