LINK members welcome the opportunity to comment on the Scottish Government’s proposal to designate Red Rocks and Longay as a Marine Protected Area.
LINK members support the designation of Red Rocks and Longay as a permanent Marine Protected Area (MPA). The protection of Scotland’s inshore environment, and support for its valuable ecosystem services, is vital in the context of addressing the intertwined climate emergency and nature crisis. Meeting international goals to address these requires urgent, bold and transformative change.
