Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire Beaches Win Big at Scotland’s Beach Awards 2023
The motion
That the Parliament celebrates the news that nine beaches across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire have been recognised at Scotland’s Beach Awards 2023, which celebrates clean, well-managed and sustainable beaches; notes that the annual awards scheme, run by Keep Scotland Beautiful, serves as a national benchmark for local environmental quality measuring, and assesses each location on safe and accessible beach management and environmental best practices; considers that these north east beaches, specifically Aberdeen Ballroom Beach, Balmedie Beach, Collieston, Cruden Bay, Fraserburgh Tigerhill, Fraserburgh Waters of Philorth, Inverboyndie Beach, Peterhead Lido and Stonehaven Beach, are a valuable national asset, providing critical habitats for many species and the basis for activities including tourism, coastal recreation and fishing; commends the hard work of staff, volunteers and everyone else involved; congratulates them, and recognises that receiving such an award is a remarkable achievement.
