manonabeach is already viewed in over 100 countries around the world. An association with the responsibletravel.com blog spreads the word and confirms the common values of manonabeach.com and responsibletravel.com, specifically a shared appreciation of the beauty of the natural environment and its enhancing effect on those who visit it, plus a shared promotion of responsible and sensitive use of this resource.
Collaboration with the European Centre for Environment and Human Health (ECEHH), April, 2012 – 2013.
manonabeach was asked to collaborate on the blue gym project at ECEHH by University of Plymouth applied social psychologist, Dr Mat White, who heard the BBC Radio Cornwall piece (see below) and remarked on the similar aims of the two projects. He describes the collaboration as follows:
The Blue Gym team have recently been supporting manonabeach with his innovative work on Cornwall’s beaches. manonabeach asks people he meets on beaches “What does the beach mean to you?” and posts short films of the varied replies he gets on his website, with fascinating responses. The knowledge transfer team at the European Centre for Environment & Human Health have helped manonabeach network with others by inviting him to join the forum, and putting him in touch with the University’s Business Collaboration Network.
…Dr Mat White, the blue gym, ECEHH.
Collaboration with the Environment and Sustainability Institute, April, 2012 – 2013.
manonabeach has engaged with the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI), the University of Exeter’s research institute based on their Cornwall Campus, near Falmouth. The ESI is an interdisciplinary centre, leading cutting-edge research into solutions to problems of environmental change; in so doing they hope to enhance people’s lives by improving their relationships with the environment.
Key to their research is the concept of ecosystem services, and the cultural services provided by the environment are of particular relevance to my work.
