CDPI is a research, networking and advocacy social enterprise concerned with the protection and promotion of maritime heritage along the River and Firth of Clyde. We see heritage in a much broader context than history and museums, which are only a part of the picture. Heritage is a legacy from past traditions as well as what we create now and pass on to future generations. This means looking at issues of contemporary and emergent culture, activity, innovation, new technology and sustainable development. MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of CDPI is to promote the maritime heritage of the River Clyde as something that is both evolving, changing and relevant in a modern context. We aim to promote the idea that heritage is as much about current and future developments and activity as it is about history. We operate both through direct activity and efforts to positively influence others with the necessary resources. Our work is much wider in scope than just historical heritage protection in the conventional sense. We are concerned with the "living heritage" that is constantly evolving and what we leave for future generations.
