Sea Routes
Our NatureScot #futureroutes funded Sea Routes project ran in autumn 2024 and was all about recording what we found in the research creels. The astonishing biodiversity of our seas was really brought to life with this project and we are delighted to share here our data sheets and some photos of the project
Please check out our new interactive map of the Sea Routes. Simply click on an icon or use the menu on the top left to show all.
