Cúpla-Trá

Cuplá Trá is an innovative project that combines digital twin technology and landscape biography methodology to conserve a delicate coastal ecosystem which is becoming increasingly vulnerable as a result of the effects from climate change whilst simultaneously balancing the challenge of increased human footfall and use as a leisure destination.

Funded by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the three year project began in 2024, and is a novel direction for both concepts, and is the first time that they have been brought together in this eco-centric approach with the overall aim of protecting and restoring a natural environment.
