CCN has since grown from its eight founding members into a diverse network of over 35 Scottish community-led groups, ranging from informal volunteer-run groups to larger, charitable organisations, all united by a shared sense of accountability to their community and commitment to marine and coastal protection and restoration. CCN and its members have been a driving force behind remarkable achievements for the nature of Scotland's coastal areas.
