Green Shores, Restoring Saltmarsh Habitats in the Highlands and Fife

That the Parliament congratulates Green Shores on winning the Coast and Waters Award at the Nature of Scotland Awards 2025; recognises that saltmarshes are vital coastal habitats, valued as carbon stores, natural shoreline defences and rich refuges for specialist biodiversity; notes that Green Shores is restoring and reconnecting fragmented saltmarshes in the Dornoch Firth and the Tay and Eden estuaries in the Highlands and Fife, helping to secure the future of this rare habitat; further notes that this work both supports wildlife and strengthens coastal resilience to the impacts of climate change, and commends all those involved for their leadership in nature restoration and climate action along Scotland’s coasts.
