The Scottish Seabird Centre<\/a> in\u00a0North Berwick fulfils an important role in helping people to understand the importance of some of Scotland\u2019s most important sea-bird populations. Looking to the future, they are proposing to extend the Centre\u00a0into a National Marine Centre for Scotland, and Marine Scotland is delighted to be working with them\u00a0to enable people to better understand the special contribution made by our marine ecosystems and build increased visitor numbers – both tourist and educational.<\/p>\n

But what do you think? Why don’t you tell us in this short, online survey<\/a>. The survey, which should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, is\u00a0an opportunity for everyone, whether you have an interest in the marine environment or not, to contribute and provide your ideas and suggestions to create a National Marine Centre for Scotland.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
