An engaging discussion with @ourseas-scot.bsky.social on Scotland's coasts. 🌊

The current consultation for the National Marine Plan 2 needs to be comprehensive and the Scottish Government should not key sectors like fisheries.

We need to protect our shores, from Portobello to Cramond.

We all have a stake in the seas, and all rely on it's recovery 🌊
