Wildlife TV presenter Miranda Krestovnikoff to headline Scottish Marine Fest 2023 - Celebrating Scotland’s Seas
A host of passionate environmentalists and nature enthusiasts will share their stories and love of the seas at the Scottish Marine Fest from 8th to 12th June 2023. The five-day events programme at the Scottish Seabird Centre in the coastal town of North Berwick, near Edinburgh, will bring together leading artists, writers and environmentalists to celebrate Scotland’s incredible marine wildlife and habitats.
TV presenter, wildlife expert and diver Miranda Krestovnikoff will launch the festival on World Ocean Day with an ‘in-conversation’ evening. As a skilled diver, Miranda will share the experiences which have brought her closer to nature.
Marine biologist and conservationist Caitlin Turner will be speaking about her role representing Scotland on the Youth Advisory Council for World Ocean Day and its work to support 30x30 – a worldwide campaign galvanising support for a global commitment to protecting 30% of the oceans by 2030.
Also joining the programme are Vicky Allan and Anna Deacon who will discuss their popular series of wild swimming books, sharing tips on how to make the most of open water experiences and looking at what swimmers can do to care for and protect the environment they enjoy.
Susan Davies, CEO for the Scottish Seabird Centre said: “We’re delighted to be hosting Marine Fest 2023 at the Centre in June with the kind support from North Berwick Trust. Now in its third year the programme is going from strength to strength, and we have an inspirational range of speakers headlining this year.
“The festival enables us through storytelling, arts, food and drink and science to help people learn more about Scotland’s incredible marine wildlife and habitats. Over the five days the local community and visitors can enjoy a range of engaging events with the iconic world’s largest northern gannet colony on the Bass Rock as a backdrop.
“Behind all that we do is a very serious message about the need to act now to address the impacts of climate change and loss of nature. We aim to spark ideas about what people can individually do to help nature.”
Olwyn Owen, Trustee and Grants Chair for North Berwick Trust, said: “As well as raising awareness of global challenges for the marine environment, Marine Fest is very much rooted in the local coastal area and I’m sure it will be well supported and enjoyed by the local community. North Berwick Trust is pleased to have been able to provide funding for the festival and we wish it every success”.
Marine Fest’s five-day programme of events, exhibitions, workshops and trails will run from 8th – 12th June, inviting visitors of all ages to get closer to nature and consider how we can best protect our seas in the future. Bookings for the headline events are now open.
