‘We welcome today’s ground-breaking announcement by the Cabinet Secretary to protect Lamlash Bay, the first time a marine area has been protected as a result of proposals developed by local representatives. The Community of Arran Seabed Trust are to be particularly commended for their tireless work in developing their proposals: surveying Lamlash Bay, raising awareness of Arran’s marine environment, and working with local stakeholders, environment groups, SNH and the Scottish Government to provide the momentum leading to today’s announcement.’
