Last night, I attended the ⁦Scottish Fishing Federation dinner. The message was clear. Renewables must not be to the detriment of our long-standing and world-class fishing industry. ⁦@sff_uk⁩ telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

As I prepare to leave my position as Chair of @ICES_ASC Advisory Committee- I wish to thank the ACOM leadership. We would not have made such progress without their insights, dedication & drive. #ICESASC23

The SNP’s reckless plans to ban fishing in 10% of Scotland’s waters would ruin livelihoods and devastate coastal communities. The SNP-Green government must listen to the fishing industry, go back to the drawing board, and create a scheme that works for coastal communities.

Replying to @Mark_Spencer
@Mark_Spencer fishermen are looking for you to settle on a pragmatic approach on Anglerfish in areas iv and vi. Decreasing the TAC by 30% for two years when abundance is increasing is wrong. Shouldn’t be a political football in negotiations. #pragmatic #sustainableharvesting

Once again we find MCS creating media headlines through Dodgy ratings in its good fish guide. Providing guidance to the public on what and what not to eat is fine so long as their is no hidden agenda and misleading info. Eat Northern Monkfish with confidence. #sustainable

When Scottish fishermen’s young children are being bullied by their classmates for their parent’s occupation, we are well past the time to look away, and say nothing. My Op-Ed for Scottish Herald on Sunday. This must stop, now.
