Marine and Coastal Development Unit
The coastal environment of Argyll is a varied and complex one where many of the interactions between the natural processes and human activities are not always well understood. Argyll and Bute Council recognises the importance of managing our marine resource in a sustainable manner in order to secure the future of both our natural environment and the economic communities that are dependant on it.
The Marine and Coastal Development Unit works on a number of projects and initiatives, including the Marine Natura Project and the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project. This Unit is part of the Development Projects Team within Planning Services and also works closely with many external partners and organisations.
If you have any questions about the work of the unit or would like some advice on a specific project, please feel free to contact them.
