We’re Out of Sink, an eco-synchro swim team: 8 Penwith friends of a certain age, who love getting into the sea together.
These powerful photographs of storm damage offer disturbing evidence of the impact of tidal flooding – right in the midst of our community, and in the path of our Tide’s Reach performance. Sadly, these images also illustrate events that will happen much more frequently as a result of the climate crisis. By taking urgent action now, we can slow this process down, and work to protect what remains.
