Projects in Action
Interpretation StrategyThe Interpretation Strategy presents a framework for the interpretation of the Isles of Scilly. It is an effective means of explaining the islands’ natural and cultural heritage to visitors and to local people. The islands have fascinating stories to tell – their formation on the edge of Britain, their immense diversity of wildlife, their long history of human settlement, and their role today as a living, working community and a destination for holidaymakers. There are already many sources of information, but less explanation, about these stories in various media. This Strategy will help to present a more coherent image for Scilly and coordinate the work of the many organisations and individuals who want to describe and explain the unique character of the islands.
Marine SurveyThe Marine Survey completed in 2009 runs in line with the Management Plan's aim to maintain all valuable marine and coastal species in a favourable condition and to be sensitive towards it's management.
Sustainable Development FundThe Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a nationally important protected landscape, renowned for the richness and diversity of its landscape, seascape, habitats and cultural heritage. The AONB designation safeguards Scilly's vibrant community and ensures that the Islands' unique resources and special qualities are conserved. The Sustainable Development Fund is one mechanism to help keep the AONB special.
Sustainable Development Fund 2010-2011Groups, organisations and businesses are invited to apply to the Sustainable Development Fund 2010-2011. Proposed projects should seek to conserve and enhance Scilly's environment and to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors.
