Seawilding Wins at RSPB Nature of Scotland Awards
Updated: Nov 25, 2022
Seawilding was honoured to have won the Coast and Waters category at the RSPB Nature of Scotland Awards 2022, and proud to be part of the Generation Restoration team supporting the scaling up of seagrass restoration who won the Innovation Award.
Seawilding is community based and works to restore fragmented seagrass meadows in Loch Craignish and along the west coast of Scotland. Seagrass meadows are biodiversity hotspots and an important carbon sink. Additionally, Seawilding is restoring 1 million native oysters to the Loch over a 5-year period. These once-abundant eco-system engineers filter & clean water, and provide breeding and nursery grounds for fish – making their restoration key to a healthy ecosystem. Seawilding is also developing best-practice, low-cost methodologies and training programmes to help other coastal communities do the same. These community projects involving scores of volunteers lead to empowerment, inclusion and advocacy for better, sustainable management of inshore marine habitats.
Co-sponsored by NatureScot, the awards took place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) on November 17 and were hosted by wildlife presenter Iolo Williams and radio and tv presenter Arlene Stuart. The ceremony recognised the individuals and organisations making a difference in their local communities, businesses and schools to support Scotland’s wildlife and special places for nature
A big thank you to RSPB for a fantastic event!

This was a surprisingly useful article. I learned a few new things while reading it, and the clear explanations made it easy to understand the information without any confusion.

Really inspiring to see community-led projects receiving recognition, especially when the work directly supports biodiversity and healthier coastal ecosystems. The focus on restoring seagrass meadows and native oyster habitats shows how local conservation efforts can create a wider environmental impact. It’s great to see organisations like Seawilding highlighting practical approaches that other communities can learn from as well.
On a separate note, I’ve been interested in how people can access useful online public-service information more easily, such as checking a MEPCO bill online without waiting for the printed copy. Making everyday information easier to access is another small way technology can help people.
This was one of the more useful articles I’ve come across recently. The topic was explained in a simple and engaging manner, making it easy to follow throughout. Earlier today, I was exploring the Apna Khata login portal while researching online land management services and record access systems. It’s always beneficial when informative articles help point readers toward relevant resources. Great work!
What I liked most about your article was how clearly everything was explained without making the topic feel difficult. The content flowed naturally and kept me interested throughout. While reading further, I also checked the SVG to PDF Converter platform, which seems like a reliable resource for converting SVG files into high-quality PDFs. Your article genuinely helped me understand why these tools are useful for design and document sharing. It’s wonderful to see such practical content online. Great work!
A truly inspiring update celebrating meaningful conservation work and environmental restoration. It’s great to see recognition being given to efforts that actively support marine ecosystems and biodiversity recovery. The way you explained the topic was very clear and helpful, and I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog that also emphasized the importance of community-led conservation initiatives. The focus on https://www.attn2detail.info/ in documenting ecological progress really highlights how careful, consistent work leads to impactful environmental change.
