A clear message for European Fish Week

COAST is part of OCEAN2012, a coalition of over 160 groups all around Europe that is working to bring about a more sustainable fishing policy. ‘END OVERFISHING’, their posters say.

The three High School students in our picture were helping at the COAST stall at the Heather Queen festival in Lamlash two weeks ago. They are Susie Mowat, Luke Cannon and Robert Ingham.  COAST has awarded them, together with a fourth student, Hannah Ross, an opportunity to do a Powerboat Course at Arran Outdoor Education Centre. Nigel Marshall will help to increase their knowledge and skill in using boats, and the students will have a chance to act as assistant boatmen and women in research boats this summer.

These workshops sound great fun.  The building of the flying fish kites will befollowed on the Friday by a procession along the front in Lamlash plus a COAST stall to celebrate European Fish Week
