Speak up for seabirds πŸ“£

Berwick Bank would be devastating for vulnerable seabirds. Take action with @seabirdcentre.bsky.social and tell the Cabinet Secretary to say no to Berwick Bank: www.seabird.org/conservation...

Refusing Berwick Bank can open the door to nature positive offshore wind.

One giant windfarm is threatening Scotland’s iconic seabirds - and the future of offshore wind

So we've written to @johnswinney.bsky.social urging him to say no to Berwick Bank

Our director Anne McCall explains why in this blog – and how you can help.

The decision to close industrial sandeel fishing in Scottish waters is here to stay.

Sandeels are a crucial food source, especially for chicks, and this is a major lifeline for iconic species like Puffins and Kittiwakes.
