Scottish Environment LINK Marine Group welcome the strides taken by Scottish Government to establish a
world leading network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) that is ecologically coherent and well-managed. As
part of a wider approach to marine conservation, the MPA network is crucial to help halt and reverse the
environmental decline in Scotland’s seas and safeguard the many benefits they provide to our society.
