The story of fishing in Kintyre and the Firth of Clyde and its effect on marine ecosystems is brought closer to our day in this fascinating article. It details the scale of devastation: 'many once abundant species are now ecologically extinct'. https://t.

Or, we could impose a complicated system of MPAs and HPMAs with varying levels of protection; some with none; some with all of it, and myriad boundaries at sea where who knows who will be policing them. #InshoreLimit
If you believe modern salmon farming in Scotland is the reason for biodiversity decline, rather than a logical response to it, read this : https://t.co/FDKFpuW30q

@feochaigwoods @HighlandsIslan1 The cause is a combination of by-catch and extensive habitat modification associated with use of towed demersal gears! The fix, reinstatement of an inshore limit on the use of such gears. e.g. 2/3 Clyde cod get caught each y

@clumpusjim @Alexander_Lees It's not an oversimplification or a generalisation, it is the reality in Scotland. Almost all of our inshore fishermen are now largely reliant on shellfish. The issue here is 'correct management' We do not have it. https://t.

The North Channel between Scotland and Ireland has strong currents, many obstructions and unexploded munitions. It is very biodiverse with sponges known from nowhere else in the world. Many of these have not even been named yet. 1/2
Very happy to hear that the Clyde Cod Box Closure (for protection of spawning cod) now actually prohibits bottom trawling/dredging (which was previously exempt… I know) Also gonna slap this down on the desk of the those who’ve started complaining: https:
