Doggerland Walker I Places, people, memories, and cultures have been lost to the sea, reflecting the impact of climate change and rising sea levels on these temporal and fragile environments that form the boundary between land and water. Coastal villages, communities, natural habitats, towns, and cities lie vulnerable to the encroaching waves.
“At such a time, and when climate change, global warming and sea level rise are now accepted as almost the greatest threat to our lifestyles, the fate of the Holocene landscapes and peoples of the North Sea may yet be interpreted, not as an academic curiosity, but a significant warning for our future.”
Doggerland Walker I represents “the memories and associations of cultures disappeared, with the landscape itself, as sea levels rose and the land retreated.”
