Clearwater Group

The Clearwater Group is a community-led initiative dedicated to protecting and restoring the marine environment of our peninsula in Argyll, Scotland.

As part of the Coastal Communities Network, we work alongside national partners, scientists and local communities to safeguard our coastline and support the creation of a Marine Protected Area.

Improving water quality in and around our area!

Activities

  • Marine Research

    We carry out structured marine research to build a clear, evidence-based understanding of our local ecosystem.

    This research forms the foundation for future marine protection.

  • Sewage Initiative

    We are dedicated to enhancing sewage treatment quality with Scottish Water and educating homeowners on individual treatment options, including benefits and costs. Our efforts also focus on securing community grants for system upgrades and advocating for stringent environmental standards in local development plans.

  • Ensuring Water Quality Monitoring

    Committed to safeguarding our water's health, we will monitor quality levels, focusing on threats from microplastics, sewage, and radioactive waste. Collaborating with experts from the Scottish Association of Marine Science in Oban will enrich our monitoring techniques and pollution mitigation strategies.

  • Establishing Marine Protection Areas

    Our efforts will focus on advocating for the creation of marine protection areas and promoting sustainable fishing practices in key coastal areas to safeguard sensitive ecosystems and marine habitats.(space)We also aim to explore potential collaborations, such as joining the Our Seas campaign, to amplify our impact and further our conservation goals. Partnering with initiatives like the Scottish Government's Seagrass project could amplify our conservation efforts.
