“The Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST) is a community-led organisation that has made a huge difference to the conservation and restoration of the seas around Arran and the Clyde for the past 20 years. We stand for a diverse, abundant and beautiful marine environment for everyone.”
Exciting sea sightings
We share interesting sightings of sea life around the Isle of Arran and the Clyde Region.
Diving and snorkelling
Many divers and snorkellers come to carefully explore the recovery of the Lamlash Bay No Take Zone and other extraordinary underwater sites in the South Arran MPA.
Visitor Centre
The Octopus Centre is Scotland’s first MPA visitor centre, and it is led by COAST with the people of Arran. In fact this is the UK’s first community-led MPA visitor centre.

The Scottish Salmon Company (SSC) has announced the submission of a 195 page scoping report for a new North Arran Marine Fish Farm. COAST are opposed to this development and are asking for your support.
