Few would deny that Plymouth’s greatest asset is the sea, and yet centuries of naval dominance have, until recently, left large parts of the waterfront disconnected from the city centre. But all that is changing. Not only is Plymouth reclaiming its waterfront for people to enjoy, but its huge marine sector has shrugged off its traditional dependence on the defence industry to diversify into the marine leisure market.
The southwest is second only to Southampton and the Solent for the breadth of expertise available, and Plymouth now has the largest cluster of marine businesses in the region.
