St. Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve, was the UK's first Voluntary Marine Reserve. Located in the Scottish Borders. It covers 8 km of the Berwickshire coast, from Eyemouth in the south to St. Abb's Head in the north. At its centre is the pretty little fishing village of St. Abbs.
The reserve is one of the most popular scuba diving locations in the United Kingdom. The water of the reserve is unusually clear, in contrast to the more silt-laden coastal waters further to the north or south. The reserve was opened on the 18th of August 1984 by David Bellamy.
