THE CLYDE DOCKS PRESERVATION INITIATIVE LIMITED

The Clyde Docks Preservation Initiative (CDPI) is a non-profit research, networking and advocacy social enterprise concerned with the protection and promotion of maritime heritage along the River and Firth of Clyde. CDPI's mission is to ensure that historic dock sites and other maritime artefacts on the Clyde are preserved and used sustainably in ways that benefit local communities and the maritime economy of the region, both through direct activity and efforts to positively influence others with the necessary resources. They aim to create an understanding of maritime heritage as being not just history and museums, but more importantly also about contemporary and evolving culture, activity and technology. Their flagship branded project Clyde.Scot was launched in 2020, and involves developing a digital platform that will aim to connect everything happening along the River and Firth of Clyde that is related to the maritime environment and activity.
