Welcome to Caolas

Rooted in the West Coast. Protecting our sea. Powered by community.

What is Caolas?

CAOLAS (Community Association of Lochs and Sounds) is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) working to protect and enhance the coastal and marine environment of Loch Sunart to the Sound of Jura, including the Argyll Hope Spot. We work closely with local communities, volunteers, researchers, and partner organisations to deliver education, conservation, monitoring, and restoration activities, with a strong focus on local stewardship.

“Many individuals are doing what they can... real success can only come if there is a change in our societies...”
Sir David Attenborough

Partnerships

We have partnered with a number of like minded organisations over the years to deliver conservation improvements in the area.

These include: Carna Communities & Conservation, Coastal Communities Network, Our Seas and Argyll Hope Spot
