Ocean Day celebrations

The Community of Arran Seabed Trust invite you to SAVE THE DATE for Arran Waters Day on Saturday 25th May.

The event, supported by numerous local stakeholders, will feature water-based activities, educational workshops, and citizen science events. The Arran community led a successful campaign for the marine protected areas around the south of the island, and Arran Waters Day aims to celebrate our rich waters.

The event will be a chance to meet with water sports providers, clubs, fishermen, seafood providers, and educators from across the island. You can look forward to a diverse range of free activities and stalls including:

– Seaweed foraging & cooking demos
– Sustainable seafood talk
– Trips onboard RV COAST Explorer
– Sea-themed face painting and a seashore treasure hunt
– Snorkel taster sessions and sea swims
– Kayak and stand-up paddleboarding demos
– Talks with Dive Arran
– Seasearch Stand
– RNLI & COAST guard safety talks
– Tours of the COAST Discovery Centre
– BBQ and live music

We hope Arran Waters Day will raise awareness of marine conservation issues, promote sustainable practices like low-impact fishing, and get people involved with citizen science initiatives that monitor and protect marine life.
