What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to re-introduce a variation of the historic 3 mile coastal limit on the use of mobile dredge and bottom-trawling fishing gears to support:
* the recovery of Scotland’s inshore demersal fin-fish population and the wider ecosystem;
* opportunities to optimise the social, economic and environmental returns within the new spatially managed area; and
* increases in fishing jobs and the revitalisation of coastal communities.
