THIS week, Lochaber Chamber of Commerce CEO Lesley Benfield discusses the importance of the marine environment to businesses in Lochaber and exciting new developments in this area.
Lesley writes: ‘We all know that our area’s marine environment of coastline and lochs encompasses some of the world’s most beautiful and varied waters for outdoor sports, marine wildlife, scenery and heritage.
‘But it’s sometimes easy to forget that it is also extremely important to our local economy, with more than 15 per cent of Lochaber Chamber of Commerce membership having business interests in marine or inland waterways.
