Totally agree. It's time for us to be bold and support calls for bottom-trawling and dredging to be banned in our Marine Protected Areas.

In 2020, we published the Ocean Recovery Plan, calling for urgent action to restore Scotland’s seas by 2030. Now, our first review (2020–2024) is out. How much progress has been made? 📘 Read the report: www.scotlink.org/an-ocean-rec... 📷Paolo Chiabrando / Unsplash

Wrasse are caught & used as cleaner fish in fish farms. Millions of them are being caught & killed after used. These are amazing fish that should surely have some protection. Would we sacrifice wild birds for chicken farms? The Blue Starfish response @siftscotland.bsky.social @mcsuk.bsky.social

🚗💨 The Scottish Government has ditched targets to cut car km by 20% by 2030. This is yet another climate U-turn, despite transport being Scotland’s top source of emissions. Lack of leadership = unsafe roads, poor public transport & broken promises. ✉️ Write to your MSPs sccs.eaction.org.uk/climate

Excellent news, this fishery is an environmental and welfare nightmare. We would not tolerate the same situation with birds. @mairigougeon.bsky.social news.stv.tv/scotland/min...

Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵

A clear example of locations in Scotland blighted with litter. A #DepositReturnScheme would improve this, evidenced by other locations who have seen improvements due to similar schemes.

So now we have it. Rachel Reeves's claim that a third runway at Heathrow Airport would boost economic growth comes from a report commissioned by .... Heathrow Airport. Instead of acting in the national interest, she's channelling corporate lobbyists. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
