Scottish Greens objecting strongly against Flamingo Land 2 plans. Fair enough. Shame they won't listen to the objections of local islanders to the HPMA proposals which will decimate Scottish islands fishing industries and severely impact population.

We've sent 5,000 people to sayNOtoHPMA.com in the last three days. Let's get this retweeted and send some more! Highly Protected Marine Areas are a real threat to already fragile communities. Say NO to HPMA. @Skipinnish
