The Forth Estuary Forum is one of seven Local Coastal Partnerships in Scotland which between them cover much of the Scottish coastline. They are:
Forth Estuary Forum
Tay Estuary Forum
East Grampian Coastal Forum
Moray Firth Partnership
Coast Hebrides
Clyde Marine Planning Partnership
Solway Firth Partnership
These seven local coastal fora are supported by the Scottish Coastal Forum.
The Scottish Coastal Forum was formed by the Government in 1996 to encourage debate at national level on coastal issues. Its members advise Marine Scotland, from an operational perspective, on the development of policy relating to marine planning and licensing within a sustainable marine environment. The Forum also provides a network for circulating information and best practice in coastal management amongst its own varied membership and the wider ICZM community.
