Clyde Marine Week

Clyde Marine Week is an initiative of the Marine Conservation Society (www.mcsuk.org) ,
which starts on Friday 29th July 2011.

In conjunction with COAST, the Community of Arran Seabed Trust,
we will be organising several tours of the waters around Arran to show you
the wonders that nature has on offer in the Firth of Clyde.

Ten percent of the charges for OBRT events will be shared between COAST and the MCS.

Details of our tours and other Clyde Marine Week activities will appear on this page once finalised.
