Since fish farms were closed on most of the inside pass of Vancouver Island, look at the amazing coho fishery recovery. Amazing to see!

This is how Scotland should do marine protection. The critical point is that, as reported, it is being pushed for by *local* people, and seemingly differentiating between destructive industrial fishing (usually Taiwanese etc. ships) and artisanal locally based fishing.

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