Great to see #EndSewagePollution making headlines this week. In 2018 we released a study about this issue and called on the government to make changes. Most of the seagrass sites we analysed were contaminated with sewage and livestock waste. theconversation.com/sewage-and-liv… Surfers Against Sewage

Can @xlinks_uk XLCC confirm where the energy production and subsea cable will be located in Morocco? We have been told Western Sahara but would like to know locations? Thank you

BP accused of dumping industrial waste in marine-protected area off Shetland. UK regulator gave oil firm clearance to drop thousands of tonnes of pipes and cables after drilling finished.🤬🤬🤬 #ExtinctionRebellion theguardian.com/business/2022/…

Ship currently dumping in a marine protected area off Shetland is being bought to Hunterston Peel Ports deny it is for decommissioning - of course they do they don’t have permission for that - this is why don’t we trust them Ross Greer Dàibhidh theguardian.com/business/2022/…

Our wee village beach is an amazing community space. Listen to the bairns excitement as they were visited by another inquisitive bottlenose dolphin yesterday.

Great article by Karen McVeigh We applaud the brilliant work of our fantastic marine environment pioneers defending the seas on the beautiful Firth of Clyde. Dàibhidh Clyde Coastal Community Councils theguardian.com/environment/20…?

Save Inchgreen, have a petition logged to renationalise the Clyde Port Authority. It’s currently owned by major developer Peel Ports. Having a commercial company also being a regulator for their own activities is obviously flawed. Clyde Coastal Community Councils petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE20…

🪸 Why has vital protection for Scotland's Marine Protected Areas been delayed? The Scottish Govt promised to implement management measures by March 2024. But they have just broken that promise. Our seas can't wait any longer. Tell your MSPs to act now: bit.ly/inshorecap

🐟 Scotland has a serious bycatch problem. Over 7000 tonnes of juvenile haddock were caught & discarded by bottom-trawlers in 2021. More support for low-impact & selective fishing from the Scottish Govt is key to protect fish stocks for the future. news.stv.tv/v/call-for-bet…

FriendsOfTheClyde Dàibhidh Write to your MSPs to stop this delay bit.ly/inshorecapscot

🪸 The Scottish Govt promised "urgent action" to protect our seas. But instead, its latest Biodiversity Strategy sets out further delays to overdue marine protection. While they dither & delay, damage to marine habitats continues. Time for real action. openseas.org.uk/news/greenwash…
