Today Scottish Environment LINK’s Marine Task Force [1] welcomed the Scottish Executive’s public consultation on how to improve management of Scotland’s seas.
"We believe that a radical change is needed in the way we manage Scotland’s seas and that the introduction of new primary legislation offers an effective means of achieving this" said Darren Kindleysides, convenor of Scottish Environment LINK’s Marine Task Force. "The Scottish Executive obviously share our concerns about the future of our valuable marine resources and we applaud them for beginning this important initiative."
