Scotland's seas are home to some extraordinary species. 🔥🐚 Flame Shells build complex reefs that support hundreds of other species; however, they are vulnerable to disturbance, including from scallop dredging. #NatureChampioned by @RussellFindlay1 @mcsuk 📸@CalumDuncanMCS

Diversity, listening & value were three words Joe @Bluemarinef most closely associated with inclusivity - Connie then tasked the others to share: Fairness, involvement & sharing from Morag and Rebecca echoed this with diversity, sharing & listening. #SeaScot2024 🌊Catherine

Lots of ideas from delegates & the panel on how we improve inclusivity in marine decision making. Citizen assemblies, collaboration across sectors, increased ocean literacy, funding and capacity support, key messages, easier consultation processes. #SeaScot2024 🌊 Catherine
