Really interesting to learn about #Rivercraft. By using #Minecraft we can educate and inform the younger population of #Flooding, #ClimateChange & various water solutions. Engaging the community and younger generations is key to creating a resilient community. #FloodAndCoast2022 pic.twitter.com/11rQ3SZ79Q
