Thanks to everyone who supported our campaign to close the sandeel fisheries in Scottish waters!

After a twenty five year campaign by the RSPB and others the Scottish Government has closed the sandeel fisheries in Scottish waters. This is a major victory for the marine environment, and seabirds in particular. Our Scotland Director Anne McCall wants to thank everyone who helped make this happen. But there's also still a lot of work to do to secure a better future for Scotland's threatened seabirds.

I'm so pleased, it's great for the future of the wild life here in Scotland, ❤

So good to hear that we have a victory. Our poor birds have been starving for years. So happy to hear this. ❤️

This is good news. For one of the few times companies/industry lobbying groups don't get their way. Bravo

Great news and long overdue. This (industrial sandeel fishing) was utter nonsense from the outset.

What Jean French said!

For nature, there is always more to do.
And for everything we do for the better of nature, it is also for the better of ourselves.
