This has been completed through the creation of National Marine Plan interactive (NMPi).

Appreciating our coast

I want the coast to be appreciated and utilised by as many user groups as possible......
The East Grampian Coast is a wonderfully unspoilt resource and we have an obligation to ensure that any development, on or offshore, is done sympathetically to ensure that it stays that way.
