Working together for a
sustainable Firth of Forth
What we do
We support and develop valuable research, share knowledge, focus attention on key issues (such as pollution, biodiversity and the increasing threat of flooding) and bring stakeholders together to drive positive collaboration at ground and sea level.
PARTNERSHIP
United in a common purpose
A flourishing Firth of Forth is in the interests of everyone in Scotland, particularly those living and working in Fife, Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Stirling, Edinburgh, West Lothian. Midlothian, East Lothian and the Borders. The Forth Estuary Forum is open to all organisations and individuals keen to see this important coastline prosper in terms of the environment, the economy and local communities. We're committed to working together for a sustainable Firth of Forth by promoting key research and supporting worthwhile projects. We will also be launching a number of fresh initiatives in 2024 to keep everyone in the Forum updated, and encourage conversations.
KNOWLEDGE
Promoting the key issues
We're committed to promoting key information and research that is critical to the sustainable future of the Forth of Forth. Our aim is to focus attention on the most important issues affecting the Forth estuary, including pollution, litter and microplastics, biodiversity, sustainable fisheries, offshore wind deployment and the increasing threat of flooding. If people are not aware of the challenges faced by the Forth, they can't be expected to care. Together, we bring those challenges sharply into focus and showcase the great qualities of this wonderful coastline.
ACTION
Creating a positive impact
The ultimate purpose of the Forth Estuary Forum is to make a positive, tangible difference at ground and sea level. Driven by the promotion of key knowledge and research, we work with our members to define the priority projects that are required to create a positive impact. We bring Forum partners together to collaborate and innovate, help to identify project funding and, where required, we take the lead ourselves. Importantly, we also celebrate the successful work of our Forum partners.
