Providing benefit to the public
The Friends of the Sound of Jura exists to serve its community, by encouraging marine conservation..
On behalf of the community, we will gather information on threats to our marine environment, assessing them rigorously and sharing this information with our supporters. We will invite regular discussion in order that we can fairly represent the best interests of the community. Such benefits may be tangible increases in sustainable jobs, such as sea angling charters, sea kayak guiding, ecotourism and associated jobs in the hospitality sector.
In order to achieve better marine conservation, we engage with and lobby policy-makers and decision-makers. This may be about specific issues of local concern, or national policies that have local repercussions.
Thank you Susan Young, Mid Argyll Kayakers
