North Sea Trail Association
The project was originally part funded by the European Union through its Interreg IIIB North Sea Programme.
The project partners have decided to establish a North Sea Trail Association so that the Trail can be supported in the long term. The UK's representative on the Association is Aberdeen.
There is also a North Sea Cycle Route integrated with the North Sea Trail.
