The 2007 scheme was made possible through the support of The BG Group and the continuing support of Scottish Natural Heritage, who provided £10,000 each.
The Grants scheme aims to help community groups and schools to undertake activities in their local area that benefit the coast and sea of the Moray Firth (from John O’ Groats in Caithness to Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire). Projects can relate to the cultural, economic, social and environmental resources of the Firth.
