Scotland’s First Coastal and Marine National Park

Response to the SEERAD consultation on Scotland’s first coastal and marine national park (CMNP).

LINK members would welcome a properly resourced CMNP with the appropriate tools, such as Marine Spatial Planning and Nationally Important Marine Area designations, to safeguard marine and coastal natural and cultural heritage features. The successful CMNP area would then be an excellent showcase of best practice, providing benefits for local communities and the environment.
