PREMIUM Jobs will go - Anger as Scots fishermen who raised concern about rare species are rewarded by ministers with ban MINISTERS are facing a new legal clash with fishermen who say they face losing their livelihoods after being banned from an area of Scotland to protect an endangered fish. Creel fishermen and scallop divers are furious that a blanket fishing ban has been imposed over one of the largest nesting sites for the critically endangered flapper skate ever found in the Inner Sound off Skye despite the Scottish Government s nature agency saying they were either low or zero threat.

New study improves marine climate change evidence base
Scientists from the University of St Andrews and Marine Scotland have undertaken the first full mapping of carbon stores across the UK’s offshore Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to provide updated evidence for those trying to address aspects of climate and environmental change.
Marine sediments accumulating on the ocean floor act as traps and long-term stores of carbon. The new article, published in Frontiers in Earth Science today (4 March 2021), is the first comprehensive assessment of the entire UK EEZ carbon stock and provides a new methodological framework to map carbon in shelf sea sediments that could be applied worldwide. The research provides a UK-wide national break-down of carbon stocks in marine sediments, placing Scotland’s shelf seas very much at the forefront of these natural resources.
