Stranraer Walk and Talk Exploring the Coast

Join local expert, Nic Coombey from the Solway Firth Partnership for a walk to discover Stranraer water front and hear about the stories behind the wildlife past and present in Loch Ryan, from mammoth, to seagrass, herring and oyster.

As part of the ambitious Solway Coast and Marine Project (SCAMP) we would love to explore how we as local people and businesses, could benefit from investment in ‘natural capital’.. the unique habitats, sea, Marine life and landscape along the Solway.

Future Visions Playtime

After the walk it is back indoors to Creative Hub, King Street, for a hot soup and a heat up; where we will talk, dream and share ideas about future options for our coast and marine environment.

What we’ll talk about:

• What a healthy coast means to you

• What you want for the future

• What investment in the coast could mean for work, skills and business

• How we might develop the coast with an eye on its long term care

• What we risk for the next generation if we don’t act now

Please join us. Have your say. Shape the future.
