What is Solway Firth Partnership?
Solway Firth Partnership is an independent charity that works to support a vibrant and sustainable local economy while respecting, protecting and celebrating the distinctive character, heritage and natural features of our marine and coastal area.
We do this by working with people on both sides of the Solway Firth and further afield on a wide range of projects. We also contribute to development of policies for management of the coast and sea. We aim to engage with as many people as possible to help ensure that local views shape the future of the area.

NMPi allows you to view different types of information and, where appropriate, links have been provided to the related parts of Scotland’s Marine Atlas and will also be provided to the National Marine Plan in due course.

Garlieston was the final archaeology walk, with Scotland's Coastal Heritage at Risk, where we explored and recorded the remains of the secret trials for the D-Day landings

New research is being conducted by a King’s College London PhD student to look at the role of equity in marine protected area management and the Solway Firth is one of the study areas chosen.
The research within the Solway is looking for responses from the Scottish and the English sides of the Firth for the area covered by the inner firth, which has various designations.
