Marine issues in Scotland
Scotland's seas and coasts are home to an amazing range of marine wildlife and habitats, from sheltered sea lochs and grassy seabeds to exposed rocky reefs and towering underwater seamounts.
Such diverse habitats support thriving populations of otters and seals, seabirds, fish, marine mammals like porpoises and other spectacular marine wildlife like seahorses and sponges.
Sadly we are failing to manage this amazing environment which is why WWF Scotland is working to promote the sustainable management of Scotland's marine species and habitats and in particular some of its valuable fisheries.
Here in Scotland, for example, WWF is working alongside fishermen and other marine stakeholders to promote ways to sustainably manage the valuable Nephrops fishery through the Clyde Fisheries Development Project.
