Staff from Aviva got together this week to help clean up at Tayport. The Fife Coastal Path runs through Tayport and the Aviva Team cleaned up along the path and on some of the beautiful beaches along this section of the coast. A huge thank you to the Aviva Team for making such a difference in our outdoor places!

Please visit Aberdour Silver Sands today for the finale of our Shifting Baselines sessions. Shifting Baselines has been asking those of you who live in coastal towns about your connection to water. It has delved into the past, considered the present and looked into the future.
This has all involved the work of an artist and a storyteller, who helped facilitate and encourage people to share their thoughts and feelings. An art piece created by the artist is on display today. And your ideas are welcome! Please look for the FCCT gazebo and our team from 11am.
If you`re wondering what `Shifting Baselines` actually means, it`s a term used in the conservation and ecology world to describe each new generation accepting the current state (of environmental degradation) as the norm. Therefore, baselines shift.
