🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 BBC Scotland asked me today if Scot Gov should pay for DWP maladministration of #WASPI case now that UK Government won't!? This is where we've got to in the UK 🤦‍♂️

Less than 5% of Scotland's MPA network is actually protected, paper parks for spineless politicians.

Misleading claims from Scot Gov Marine about Scotland'd #MPA network The majority of these #MPAs are #paperparks with no real protection in place 📹 @PapayRanger #CoastalTestimonies

RFIG meetings tomorrow 7th in Mallaig, 8th in Kyle and Arbroath, and Ullapool on the 9th. West coast meetings all at 4 pm, on inshore management Arbroath are workshops running from 12.30 - 15.30 & 17.00 - 20.00 We strongly suggest creel fishers try & attend these meetings

“I’ve known this was coming, but I’m standing by my beliefs,”♥️ Fishmonger removed from trade association board over call to boycott farmed salmon. salmonbusiness.com/fishmonger-rem…

If you care about our inshore waters please respond to this. 'Fisheries management' impacts every one of us, as the wrong gear in the wrong place impacts biodiversity and marine carbon sinks.

Labour promised “change”. What has that looked like? Failing WASPI women, cutting winter heating payments and keeping people in poverty. While Labour offer rhetoric, I am focused on delivering progress for Scotland.

'In October, the death of more than a million fish – the biggest mass die off of farmed salmon in Scotland – was recorded in a farm run by Mowi Scotland, the UK’s largest supplier.' #Offthetable Jamie Oliver theguardian.com/environment/20…

We need to nail this lie; ''Necessity of farmed salmon in meeting global demand for affordable protein.'' Fish that humans eat are taken and milled to feed farmed #salmon. Farming salmon is a polluting, unethical and illogical way of producing protein. salmonbusiness.com/salmon-controv…

Would be great to see a few creel fishers at tomorrows meeting in Fraserburgh

Janey was so right, wasn't she?

Trump Tariffs Explained: Trump is charging 10% tariffs on UK goods. He's charging 20% tariffs on EU goods. In November it was estimated that 20% tariffs would cost UK 0.8% GDP. So let's say this means today's tariffs will cost us 0.4%. So Brexit saved us 0.4% GDP in US trade,

Short film that shows the reality of tiny Scottish communities having to try and coexist alongside massive dishonest Norwegian #salmon factory farms. They exact a huge cost on our people + environment. Finlay Carson MSP Maree Todd Mairi Gougeon The Ferret youtube.com/watch?v=An60A5…

Reform's gains seem a good reason to remind folk of Mhairi Black's speech on the rise of fascism in the UK.

EU fishing rights in Scottish waters extended for 12 years. We had no say in the matter. It costs England nothing to bargain away what isn't theirs.

There’s been a lot more heat than light in this week’s political reporting of UK-EU deal on fishing. Read our new blog to explore what the deal really means for coastal communities and our seas… openseas.org.uk/news/what-does…

This Saturday in Plockton.

On world oceans day we recall: 10 years ago Scottish Government designated 37% of our seas as MPAs & published Assessing the options for change, on the benefits of an inshore limit on trawling. We still await the MPA management measures & have zero low impact fishing zones #InshoreLimit

We stand in solidarity with colleagues working around the world to protect the sea. Scotland is falling behind much of the rest of the world in its fisheries and marine management, the time to act is now. If you want to read the report mentioned in the video you can do so
