Great to see a new wellboat for the sector from @InverlussaS being contracted to @MowiScotlandLtd. The 57-meter vessel will bring new jobs to the local area at #LochEtive.

Developments like this will help enable salmon #farmers to produce more quality #Scottish #salmon.

@gturnbull1 @scott_shellfish That’s great Gordon!

The SNP's @_KateForbes quotes from a song by Donald Francis MacNeil and Skipinnish which compares Highly Protected Marine Areas to the Clearances.

"We will stand for the rights of our children; we will not let our islands die."

The proposed HPMAs for Scotland have the potential to inflict some of the biggest and most harmful changes to our coastal communities that we have ever seen. Our statement on the proposals can be read here https://t.co/LlrAsBlrWp

[Rhoda Meek @wodieskodie]

You are seeing fury at HPMA proposals not because islanders and fisherfolk hate the environment but because our communities, language & culture are as fragile as our seas. And no-one seems to care about that.

Start again and show communities some respect. https://t.co/zAwMaQkfZU

SEA LEGS | Ever wondered how a vessel is launched? Take a look at forthcoming new addition to our fleet Eloise Eslea - commissioned by Mull's @InverlussaS and built by Nauplius Workboats - leaving dry-dock earlier this month. Warning: not for the faint of heart 🙈 #SideOnLaunch

[Salmon Scotland @ScotlandSalmon]

Pleased to see Salmon Scotland members @scotseafarms and @InverlussaS working together on new #hybrid solutions.

The Geraldine Mary will reduce carbon emissions and fuel costs and help seawater staff care for their fish even more sustainably👏

@kylecutloose @AngusMacNeilSNP Very true. The islands have lost confidence in CalMac. We now need @scotgov to step in as asses how the system can be changed going forward to encourage competition, innovation, reliability and importantly, focus on customer service

“Aquaculture work is particularly well suited to using hybrid vessels. Unlike commercial fishing….aquaculture service vessels often spend a lot of time inshore, working on a specific site. Hybrid engines are much more efficient for this type of work“

We're proud of the part we play in helping our communities thrive: from job creation and modern apprenticeships to skills development and support for good causes. We pledge to be good neighbours in every way, increasing our positive social impact.

The Scottish salmon sector supports over 3,000 businesses across Scotland through our supply chain and 70% of our sector's spending stays within the Scottish economy. Salmon is a truly Scottish economic success story! @InverlussaS @FergusEwingSNP @KateForbesMSP @strathearnrose
