Since my visit to the River Spey last year the whole of the UK's population of Atlantic salmon has been placed on @IUCN's endangered species list.
It now joins the black rhino, mountain gorillas and tigers.
I dare you, tell me again how you're doing your job @ScottishEPA.
A @GlobalFishWatch study found that around 75% of the world's industrial fishing vessels are "dark," or not publicly tracked. Many vessels are likely operating illegally, fishing inside protected areas, encroaching on other countries' waters...
