Seems a while since getting the boat out last summer - the boat park has been tidied up and we're ready to go. Just need some reasonable weather for a change!!

Last day to contribute to consultation on HPMAs 🐬🦭🦀🐚🪸🪼

Highly Protected Marine Areas have been gathering a lot of attention recently with the Scottish Government's public consultation to gather views on how sites could potentially be identified in the future.

COAST’s view is that any future HPMAs in Scotland should be taken forward as part of a more integrated approach to managing Scotland’s seas to provide the best opportunities to recover marine ecosystems and support sustainable use. Results of research in the Lamlash Bay No Take Zone demonstrate that protected areas such as this can help marine life and seabed habitats recover and thrive, but they need to be developed in the right way and with community support.

Today is the last day to give your views on the first step of the Highly Protected Marine Areas, so we encourage anyone with thoughts on this to complete the consultation.

Further information on COAST's position and links to the consultation can be found at: https://www.arrancoast.com/hpmas/
