Scottish Government Spent £83,609 on Open Seas Court Case - Scottish Fishing Industry - The Fishing Daily - Irish, UK and European Fishing Industry News Scottish Government reveals £83,609 legal costs for Open Seas court case, spanning three years of legal proceedings and rulings

It's sad to see that Scottish Ministers spent so much public money trying to argue they didn't need to ensure their management of fishing was done in line with their own marine plan 👇

I'm hoping for more practical solutions in 2025
