don't you miss all those fun "stakeholder" discussions from Twitter though? The debate, the abuse, the writing to my principal to complain?

I've really enjoyed the High Republic. Amazing to get so invested in a Star Wars story without the Skywalkers and Sith (well maybe Sith....). More big, joined up stories please. What's next?

It is the cleaner fish fishery yes. Wrasse are totally overlooked here despite their ecological importance, and the fishery for them has been very badly run. Protection in MPAs is a step forward, but there’s still more to do on the wider fishery.

An important development is that these fish have been recognised as “typical species” of protected features. There are a lot of other species and places which can benefit from this approach. More to come on this.

And to our relatively new “regulator of regulators” Environmental Standards Scotland, who picked this up and required action from Government. It has all taken too long, but progress has happened.
