This report is worth a read, sheds some light on why the management of our inshore waters is what it is.
Embarrassing for @scotgov & @MairiGougeon Evidence linked in the report is clear that @ScotGovMarine staff gave some very questionable testamonies regarding the the decline of Clyde cod This illustrates a wider problem we have experienced with inappropriate & biased behavior

If you ever wonder why it's such a struggle to get @ScotGovMarine to make the most basic decisions to recover our fisheries and marine ecosystems. this thread is a must read, by @ScotParl researchers.
What do measures to protect cod off the west coast of Scotland reveal about the Scottish Government's approach to fisheries management? This two-part blog series explores controversy over a seasonal closure to protect spawning cod in the Clyde.

Scathing stuff report on the Scottish Government's management of fisheries. Even questions whether the evidence given to Parliament by Marine Directorate officials can be trusted. This an extraordinary situation.

Have you signed our petition to help #SaveScottishWrasse yet? https://t.co/MBQE3UY7Ub Wrasse are long-lived & key species in ecosystems, associated with priority marine features like rocky reefs. But we don’t know how long it takes them to recolonise an ecosystem if removed.

States are required to do Impact Assessments of deep sea fishing, but in our new review "We find that in all IAs, the information required by the FAO Guidelines is either completely lacking or only partially addressed"

Scottish Ministers lift the ban on landing berried (i.e. egg carrying female) lobsters 👇 ...which they only implemented about a month ago This has to be top of the pile on fisheries management cowardice - leaders failing to lead https://t.co/NLPAaonBbY

Been a busy week of diving and research skills development and team building. The overall aim is to assess how the reefs are changing, especially because of the disappearance of urchins - more on this soon.
