Marine and Coastal Conservation of Loch Linnhe (MaCCOLL)

About

The charity is set up to provide research and educational opportunities for the local community to enhance the marine and coastal environment of Loch Linnhe. This is achieved by carrying out recreational events such as snorkelling and talks from experts in whale and dolphin spotting and otters. We hope that this will encourage members of the community to become more involved in protecting our natural resources and create a more boi-diverse marine and coastal environment. Several members are involved in carrying out surveys of the seabed and are working on creating a database of what is found. This will be shared with Nature Scot as well as the local community. We have formed a partnership with the local primary school to encourage involvement in the local wildlife, in particular the study of otters and their habitat.
