×This panel enables you to give your consent for your submission to be shared and for you to choose how your video is acknowledged
The WaterWall and Water Wall in Motion projects are activities in Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters, and are funded by the Centre of expertise for Waters (CREW) and Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society (SAGES) with professional input from the Scottish water community.
The WaterWall in Motion project is collecting videos from the people of Scotland and its visitors to record the experiences and enjoyment of Scotland’s coastal landscape and waters.
The WaterWall in Motion website provides you a means and opportunity to participate in the project by providing your video and the reason you wish to share your views of coasts and waters of Scotland.
Your participation in this project is voluntary.
The video you choose to submit can be of any water or coastal feature in Scotland. You can submit as many videos as you wish.
The site is moderated. We will review the videos 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 videos, 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 in Motion.
