Outrageous intimidation of environmental campaigner by #Scottish #salmon industry, including surveillance and attempts to collect kompromat. Tavish Scott Salmon Scotland should hang his head in shame instead of defending this ruthless, polluting industry. bit.ly/3plUzOZ

To understand why #salmon farming is an inherently unsustainable industry, read this WHFP. Feed for these farms is depleting stocks of krill, anchovies, and sardines the world over, undermining local fisheries in Latin America and Africa. #NoMoreToxicFishFarms

It’s rare that a single industry encapsulates the worst excesses of neocolonialism, habitat destruction, astroturfing and corrupting the public realm but salmon farming really is the worst of all possible worlds.

Since 2018 there's been a staggering 1,735 doses of shellfish-killing toxic chemicals (Deltamethrin, Azamethiphos & Emamectin) including 868 doses of Emamectin which scientists Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) recommended banning in 2016 (with a two-year phase out)! tinyurl.com/289ykffz

Loch Creran, Argyll. The most important site in the world for serpulid reefs - our version of coral reefs. They are fast disappearing. This map shows the aquaculture developments in this fragile ecosystem. Where are the regulators when you need them? @marinescotland Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA)

ScotGov acknowledges "significant evidence showing that populations of Atlantic salmon across the world are at crisis point, and that we must reinvigorate our collective efforts, both nationally and internationally" That effort won't be a moment too soon news.stv.tv/north/salmon-i…

Wake up and smell the coffee! Watch this video to discover why farming #salmon in nets at sea is a thoroughly bad idea: bit.ly/3mfegFJ Compassion in World Farming UK Marine Conservation Society @SalmonTroutCons #ScottishSalmon

A few years ago, we published a book explaining why #salmon farming is bad for the #environment and for wild salmon. Buy it here for just £3 (no profit): amzn.to/3ate9Us

Utterly scandalous and reckless: #IsleofSkye exposed to risk of hazardous chemicals from toxic #salmon farm in #Portree without public warning. Details only emerge following FOI request Kate Forbes MSP @Ianblackford_MP Scottish Greens The Highland Council bit.ly/3g9zF3z

This story is HUGE! On 26 November 2021 a barge loaded with fish food for the caged salmon in Portree Bay sank. Instead of salvaging it the company left it on the seabed. Why? Well, perhaps since recovering it could have cost more than it was worth. So, keep calm and carry on?
