Our seas are being stretched to the limit. But it does not have to be this way.
By investing in the recovery of our seas, we can build a better future for communities, fishermen and the many who rely on a productive, diverse environment.
We need to take action now to bring our seas, communities and fisheries back from the brink.
We are are an alliance of Scottish organisations and a growing coalition of over ninety marine businesses, communities and individuals that support a move to sustainable use of our coastal seas.
We are calling for:
The return of a modern seaward limit on bottom-towed fishing, via a just transition.
Effective vessel tracking systems for all boats
Preferential allocation of fishing opportunity to vessels with low environmental impact, bringing increased sustainable economic value and employment to communities.
