The WaterWall project is an activity in Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters, and is funded by the Scottish Environment, Food and Agriculture Institutes Gateway (sefari.scot).

The WaterWall project is collecting photographs from the people of Scotland and its visitors to record the experiences and enjoyment of Scotland’s coastal landscape and waters.

The WaterWall WWWsite provides you a means and opportunity to participate in the project by providing your photographs and the reason you wish to share your imagery of coasts and waters of Scotland.

Your participation in this project is voluntary.

The photographs you choose to submit can be of any water or coastal feature in Scotland. You can submit as many photographs as you wish. They can be of the same place in different circumstances (e.g. times of the day or year, weather conditions).

The site is moderated. We will review the photographs submitted and reasons for sharing, and reserve the right to reject contributions on grounds of appropriateness.

Through the year we will review the contributions to provide reports on the characteristics of the photographs, and types of reasons for sharing. At the end of the year we will review and report on the submissions received. If you have specifically consented to this, we may contact you to ask questions for evaluation of the project and final WaterWall.

If you choose to provide your contact information (name, email address) for the above purpose, this information will not be anonymous for the scientists of this project. However, no names or other identifying information will be included in any outputs/publications on the WaterWall website or any reporting on the project, unless you have explicitly consented to this for acknowledgement purposes (please read next paragraph).
