Consultation Engagement Sessions

We will be running a series of presentations, drop-in, and online sessions to share what the draft Clyde Regional Marine Plan is, what it sets out to do, and to spread awareness. These sessions will be held between November 2026 and February 2027. These sessions are to educate and to provide information, and a space to ask questions to the Clyde Marine Planning Partnership staff. You will still need to respond to the consultation for your voice and views to be heard.

Please note that some presentations and drop-in sessions are currently missing from the list as we finalise details with the venues.



Consultation Presentations

Some of the in-person events will be more structured, with a presentation and a Q&A session. These will all be held in the evening, at a variety of locations across the Clyde Marine Region. Please register via the Eventbrite links below if you would like to attend one of the in-person presentations. It is not required for you to sign up to attend, but it would be helpful for us to know numbers. All persons are welcome to attend.

There will be a young person specific session held to encourage engagement. The date and time for this will be made available in the coming weeks.

Consultation Drop-In Sessions

Some of the in-person events are being held with a ‘drop-in’ format. This means you can come at any time during the session and stay for as long as you wish. These sessions are being held across the Clyde Marine Region. The timings are slightly different across most venues so please check the list below for correct information for each session. Some of the drop-in sessions will be held in the afternoon, followed by a break, and a presentation session in the evening. Please see the list below to see what locations this will take place at. You do not need to sign up to attend the drop-in sessions in advance. All persons are welcome to attend.

*These sessions will have a presentation and Q&A session in the evening.
