The Firth of Clyde is home to an amazing abundance of wildlife and everywhere you turn there is something different to see or do – rockpooling, jellyfish spotting on the beach, boat trips to see nesting gannets on Ailsa Craig, wintering waders along the outer Clyde, and you can even spot basking sharks from the Arran ferry. Underwater it's just as spectacular – flameshell reefs, firework anemones and beds of maerl.
This amazing part of Scotland's west coast is the focus of the very first Clyde Marine Week, organised by MCS, which will take place from Friday 29th July to Thursday 4th August.
Why is MCS running Clyde Marine Week?
To inspire local people and visitors to get out there and enjoy all that the Firth of Clyde has to offer but also to think about how we affect the environment through beach litter, pollution and unsustainable fishing methods.
What's happening?
The week will encompass a myriad of events covering wildlife, natural heritage, outdoor recreation, leisure and sailing in the diverse form of guided walks, rockpool rambles, boat trips, workshops, talks, film screenings and open days.
