PEOPLE AND THE MORAY FIRTH
Food provider, industrial base, seaway, playground, wildlife haven, home. The Moray Firth means all these things and more to people who live around it and benefit from its natural wealth.
The quality of this marine supersystem which sits like a salty wedge in the map of northern Scotland, is now internationally recognised. But like many coastal areas, it is feeling the squeeze as more and more demands are made on its resources.
