Moray Shore and Sea Clean Collective

Moray Ocean Community is delighted to be supporting Burghead Sub-Aqua Club in the Moray Shore and Sea Clean Collective which was awarded funding through the Moray Coastal Communities Fund. A huge thank you to everyone who voted for the project! Over the next two years, the project will run a program of conservation activities including joint beach and underwater litter picks and harbour tidy-ups as well as snorkel and scuba surveys focussed on protecting and restoring our seagrass meadows, kelp forests and native marine species.

This project encourages community involvement and members of the public will have the opportunity to actively participate in beach cleans and guided snorkelling surveys throughout the two year project. If you are interested in getting involved do get in touch as we have a dedicated beach cleaning group now as part of our Moray Ocean Whats App community.

‍

The project will also train local divers in ghost-gear recovery through a partnership with Ghost Fishing UK which will enable volunteer divers to safely remove abandoned or lost fishing gear.

‍

The Collective is made up of people who genuinely care about Moray’s coastline and the wildlife that depends on it. We love these waters, feel proud of what makes them special, and want to protect them so future generations can enjoy them too. Our hope is to share that passion with others and inspire more people to get involved in looking after the Moray Firth.

‍

Congratulations to the Burghead Sub -Aqua club and we can’t wait to work with you on this exciting project over the next two years!
