Urgent - We need your help to get our seas into the Natural Environment Bill. Please email your MSP's today
The government has previously committed to rolling out Marine Protected areas (MPAs) - areas that have already been identified as key to the recovery of Scotland’s seas - and Priority Marine features ( PMFs)- areas that sit outside MPAs but remain important, smaller, areas, that deserve protections from the impacts of destructive fishing methods such as trawling and dredging. However successive governments have failed to take the action needed to protect these sites.
We're asking you to contact your local MSPs to urge them to support an amendment to the Natural Environment Bill, if implemented you will be helping to ensure at least 30% of inshore seas are protcted from damaging fishing methods.
