We are a community organisation working for the protection and restoration of the marine environment around Arran and the Clyde. We aim to: • improve the local marine environment for the benefit of everyone • help sustain the livelihood of those dependent on fishing and tourism • increase the popularity of the area as a diving site and tourist destination • educate future generations on the need for marine conservation. COAST is recognised worldwide as one the UK’s leading community marine conservation organisations. We were responsible for the establishment of Scotland’s first No Take Zone in Lamlash Bay. We are now campaigning for effective management of the designated South Arran Marine Protected Area (MPA).
