It’s been two years since @scotgov promised to explore a modern inshore limit on destructive fishing – but nothing has changed. Our coastal seas can’t wait any longer. Please take a moment to ask your MSPs to protect our seabed https://t.co/s35eHGyRpa

Highly Protected Marine Areas (HPMAs) have been proposed to be designated in 10% of Scottish seas. Similar strictly-protected sites across the world have proven to be highly effective in allowing ecosystem recovery &, when designed with communities, can support livelihoods 🧵

Just Economics Institute found that fish farm waste costs almost £37 million per year, while a Cour wild swimming business faces contamination of the bay from a proposed salmon farm at North Bilbrannan-

Scotland's environment deserves better 💧💚

[Transform Bottom Trawling Coalition @TBTCoalition]

Bottom trawlers and dredgers drag nets and chains through 86% of European and 90% of British MPAs, destroying fragile marine life and disturbing seabed carbon stores. On #MPADay we are calling for @DefraGovUK @EP_Fisheries and other decision-makers to #banbottomtrawling in MPAs🛑

The Scottish Government is deciding whether to re-legalise fish discards as part of its Future Catching Policy.

"Crucially, all existing sites must also be urgently protected from the most damaging activities so that only low-impact, sustainable activities are allowed."

Protected has to mean protected. #InshoreLimit

"Bottom-trawling is banned in just two MPAs, to date, with another four to be protected in June."

It beggars belief — this is excruciatingly slow progress on protecting our MPAs from bottom trawling when they should, by definition, already be protected.

Time's running out, but we can still choose a future for Scotland that's home to bustling coastal communities, restored and thriving fisheries, and marine environments bursting back to life.

What if we cared as much about the seabed as we do about the land...

This short animation was made for the @ourseas_scot coalition - a great way to visualise the damage caused by scallop dredging...

“A loophole in the MPA legislation meant that, unusually for a case of illegal fishing, the owner of the vessel, John Macallister (Oban) Ltd., was not liable to be fined.”

Completely unacceptable for ethical fishers to be ending up worse off than those who break the law.

[Open Seas @TheOpenSeas]

If you haven’t seen it yet, watch ‘Time Limit’, the new film by the @ourseas_scot coalition.

What difference can a country like Scotland even make to the health of our seas?

Every difference.

Despite @ICES_ASC advising that NO cod are caught from Scotland's west coast - to try and recover beleaguered stocks - @scotgov propose removing measures to reduce bycatch.

[SCFF @CreelScff]

Marine Scotland's management measures are meant to be proportionate and targeted. The scientists have clearly stated "the justification for including creels is lacking", so why include creels ?

''By 1984, the Scottish government had lifted all restrictions.''

Time to reverse this decision and start managing fisheries for the benefit of the many, not the few.

Time for an #InshoreLimit

SIFT welcomes yesterday's announcement to provide additional protections to Clyde cod, a valuable commercial stock. Longer term both fisheries and ecosystem will benefit. However we are concerned about the impact of this announcement on the creel fishery. https://t.co/jwdSGm5Kes

[Our Seas @ourseas_scot]

If you are going to eat #scallops or #prawns vote with your wallet and make sure they have been sustainably sourced by creeling or diving - not by trawling or dredging which damages biodiversity and carbon sinks. Ask your fishmonger if you are not sure.
#InshoreLimit

[Our Seas @ourseas_scot]

In Scotland @snp and @scottishgreens MSPs often hold forth on our great success in marine management stating that we have 37% #MarineProtectedAreas, failing to point out that some of them have no protective measures in place at all. #Greenwash
