More than 100 volunteers have already signed up ahead of a citywide recruitment programme to be part of the UK's first National Marine Park in Plymouth, which aims to get every resident connected to the sea.
The city council says people are enthusiastic about the project, which has secured over half of the £22 million needed from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Councillors agreed a business case at a cabinet meeting this week, including £2 million of capital funding already in the budget, a fundraising target of £2 million underwritten by the council and expected to be met by levelling up funding already secured, and £500,000 from the Mount Batton Centre towards work on a pontoon there.
