Sarah Harris-Smith and three of her students at Withernsea High School describe the impacts of the rapidly changing coastline on their future.
In this story we speak with Sarah Harris-Smith – a geography teacher at Withernsea High School – and three of her students: Harvey Taylor, Trystan Young and Charles Graham. Sarah has been teaching at Withernsea High School for 25 years. As a geography teacher it is a particularly interesting place to work because it sits on the Holderness coast in Yorkshire, which is the fastest-eroding coastline in Europe. On average, it loses 2 metres a year, a rate which is only increasing with climate change. Many of Sarah’s students are young farmers directly affected by the loss of land due to coastal erosion, so we decided to go and speak to some of them about its impact on them.
Music in this story: Alustrat by Blue Dot Sessions; Eleven Count by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue).
