A new community handbook is being launched to help residents adapt to a changing coastline.
The handbook, called Changing Tides, has been facilitated by Tir Canol for communities around the Dyfi estuary and aims to improve coastal adaptability amid environmental change.
Created in collaboration with local residents through a series of co-design workshops, the project combines scientific research with lived experience to deliver practical guidance for adapting to sea level rise and increased flooding.
Alice Briggs, programme manager at Tir Canol, said: "The Dyfi estuary is already experiencing the effects of climate change.
"Changing Tides is an essential response to the growing threats of sea level rise, increased flooding, and environmental changes impacting the region.
"Grounded in local experience and knowledge, it will offer practical tools, shared learning and inspiration to adapt while caring for the places we hold dear."
Changing Tides was facilitated by landscape partnership Tir Canol in Mid Wales.
The project is led by RSPB Cymru, working hand in hand with design agency Everglow to produce the handbook.
Funding comes from the Nature Networks Fund, delivered by the Heritage Fund on behalf of the Welsh Government, which aims to strengthen protected land and marine areas in Wales.
The handbook is available in print and online, with a dedicated microsite linking to related policies and projects.
Kirsti Davies, community engagement artist for the project, said: "Our community already holds so much wisdom about living with change – it’s embedded deep in our history, culture and everyday experiences of living and working in this special place.
"My role is to help bring our voices together through creative workshops and gathering stories, so that we can build positive solutions.
"We're facing big challenges, but by sharing and preparing now, we can tackle them with strength and imagination."
The handbook offers strategies for protecting habitats, supporting wellbeing through nature access, and maintaining local infrastructure.
It also connects readers to broader priorities on ocean literacy, blue investment, and community-led change.
A short film produced by young people as part of the project, The Land and Sea are Always Changing, was released earlier this month.
The official launch of the handbook takes place on Friday, March 27 at Aberystwyth Arts Centre from 2pm to 6pm.
