COAST Summer News
As we celebrate a quarter century of COAST, we look forward to the possibilities of recovery, not just conservation, of our National inshore waters. We continue to spread the marine conservation word far and wide, look forward to welcoming you onto events this summer and having marine researchers in our seas once again.
Donation in memory of Alan & Pat Tod and Mrs McArthur
We recently received a very generous donation from Dr Allan, which in part was comprised from bequests from his father’s cousin, the late Alan Tod. Dr Allan donated this money due to his and Alan’s life-long attachment to Arran – including many happy holidays fishing in Lamlash Bay.
Kelp & Seaweeds
May’s feature focused on the intriguing kelp and other seaweeds found Scotland’s seas.
