Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to ensure that the salmon farming industry solely utilises a closed-containment method with full water filtering in Scottish waters.
We believe that if the industry is to grow it must act more responsibly and embrace closed containment. Do you agree that the only way this is going to occur in Scotland is if the Scottish Government acts and ensures compliance?
What are your views on the industry’s argument that this method is too expensive?
Why do you think that the relevant agencies in Scotland and the Scottish Government don’t appear to want or insist that for sustainability it is used?
This is the time to have your say, exert your influence and encourage for a more sustainable salmon farming industry in Scotland. We would welcome any other thoughts you have on this issue.
