New Marine Protections announced by the Scottish Government are the result of Scottish Green budget negotiations.
The designation of four new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), and a further 12 sites given Special Protection Area status, announced today, is the result of Scottish Greens pressure on the Scottish Government to deliver 2018/19 budget commitments.
Commenting, Mark Ruskell said: “This is a major step towards protecting our marine environment, and we are delighted to see this commitment to the Scottish Greens delivered.”
