Moray Ocean Commuity

We are Moray Ocean Community – a volunteer led group passionate about exploring, protecting, and celebrating the amazing Moray Firth coastline. We bring people together through fun activities, citizen science, and community projects, helping everyone connect with and care for our local marine environment.

We believe in learning, sharing, and having fun while exploring the coast, gathering valuable data, and celebrating the beauty of our seas. As a newly formed, volunteer-led group, we welcome anyone interested in supporting, participating, or shaping our future work—help us see what more we can do for our community, our seas and our local wildlife!
