Dave Thompson, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch and his colleagues on the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee (RACCE) will hear evidence from fisherman on the 23rd of September over the impact of the Marine Protected Area (MPA) proposals.
Mr Thompson said, “We are looking to get facts from fishermen on the impact MPAs will have on them, which is why it is crucially important we host this evidence session.
“The Committee has written to the Government to ask them to delay the orders for the MPAs until this evidence is heard.
Dave went on, “I support the principle of MPAs but I want a bit more ground allocated for prawn trawlers, therefore I hope after the hearing of evidence from fisherman on the 23rd of September some concessions for them can be agreed”.
