Marine conservation and education charity supported by an award-winning visitor attraction in the stunning coastal town of North Berwick. For 25 years we have been helping people connect with Scotland’s amazing marine wildlife, habitats & iconic seabirds.
Please note, our centre will be closed for 2 days next week, on Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 March, for maintenance works to help make our visitor centre more energy efficient.
Thank you for your understanding and we apologise for any disappointment🙏

We all want to see a thriving offshore wind industry that's helping Scotland meet its climate goals and build a green economy, but it must be delivered in harmony with nature🌱
To find out more about Berwick Bank, head to our website at www.seabird.org/conservation/berwick-bank-offshore-windfarm
Today we gathered outside SSE's Glasgow office to urge them to stop the Berwick Bank offshore wind farm.
Together we delivered a petition signed by 12,500 people opposing this damaging project.
