Snorkel trails, the mudflats of Montrose and the community that bought an island

Ed and Rachel head to the beach! In this episode, we hear from the our Living Seas team on the Trust’s marine policy and engagement work. We take a look back at the historical community buyout of the Isle of Eigg and hear how the island is being managed for both people and wildlife. And we head across to the east coast for a walk on the tidal mudflats of the Trust’s Montrose Basin reserve.
