Arran Coast
@ArranCoast
COAST created Scotland's first No Take Zone in Lamlash Bay, Arran. We press for effective management in Arran's MPA. Community-led & reliant on donors & grants.


















NatureScot's marine monitoring team, in collaboration with @ArranCoast, are this week diving in the Lamlash Bay No Take Zone within the South Arran MPA. The team are contributing to ongoing monitoring of seabed habitats & scallops in the Bay.


People across Scotland understand how important nature is to our livelihoods and wellbeing. Recent polling showed that people living in rural Scotland especially think that @scotgov should do more to make farming & fishing greener: scotlandlovesnature.scot/7-in-10-people… #ScotlandLovesNature










"My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. In this film, we share those wonderful discoveries, uncover why our ocean is in such poor health and, perhaps most importantly, show how it can bounce back to life." uk.news.yahoo.com/sir-david-atte…

One of the charities awarded funding is @ArranCoast. This pioneering charity established Scotland’s first No-Take Zone in Lamlash Bay which provides a crucial breeding and nursery ground for various marine species, and this was subsequently followed by the creation of the South Arran Marine Protected Area in 2016. Our funding will help to protect and restore these areas, and enable COAST to share learning nationally and globally.
