The Scottish Seabird Centre and Seafari Adventures Forth have entered into a new 10-year partnership agreement to continue offering exceptional guided wildlife boat experiences around the spectacular seabird colonies in the Firth of Forth.

Actions to protect some of Scotland’s most vulnerable marine species are being consulted on by the Scottish Government. The draft Scottish Seabird Conservation Action Plan has been developed to protect Scotland’s seabird species for future generations.

We welcome the publication of the Scottish Government’s framework delivery plan (2024-2030) for biodiversity today (27/11/2024) and the recognition of the need for ‘nature’ to be at the heart of all Government approaches and decisions. The framework recognises that seabirds alongside marine mammals and elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are the top three globally threatened marine species groups and need action to reduce the pressures on these.

The Scottish Seabird Centre has this week re-opened the doors of their interactive Discovery Experience to visitors. The visitor attraction has been closed since February 2024 following a devastating internal flood.
