Elouise Cartner, Living Seas Public Engagement Officer with the SWT, who worked on the new trail and attended the Dive In weekend, said: “We have highlighted several beginner and slightly advanced dive sites, from an iconic location in Portknockie overlooking Bow Fiddle Rock. to Cullykhan Bay along the magnificent coastline of the Moray Firth.
“We have focused on promoting accessible sites to allow more equitable access to nature.”
Along with beach maps with beginner and advanced snorkel areas, a new brochure highlights local facilities such as equipment rentals, parking and restrooms, family-friendly attractions such as visitor centers, parks, picnic areas, accessibility information and opportunities. of community-led marine citizen science.
