Sgìrean Mara Fìor Ghlèidhte
Anns an Ògmhios 2023
dh'inns an Rùnaire airson Carbon Neodrachd do Phàrlamaid na h-Alba nach biodh
an Riaghaltas a' leantainn le molaidhean gus HPMAs a stèidheachadh ann an 10%
de dh'uisgeachan na h-Alba ron bhliadhna 2026. Am broinn na h-òraid aice
dh'inns Rùnaire a' Chaibineit gu robh co-luadair an Riaghaltais air HPMAs air farsaingeachd
de fhreagairtean a thoirt am follais agus draghan mun bhuaidh a bhiodh aig na
molaidhean air coimhearsnachdan ionadail a bharrachd air a' chlàr-ama airson a
chur an gnìomh. A dh'aindeoin sin, thuirt Màiri NicAilein gu bheil Riaghaltas
na h-Alba fhathast airson dìon na h-àrainneachd mhara fhaicinn.
Air Eòrpa na seachdain sa, tha Mìcheal MacNèill a' cluinntinn bho iasgairean ann an coimhearsnachdan dùthchail air feadh Alba a tha ag innse mun dragh a tha orra gun tèid poileasaidhean coltach ri HPMAs a-nis a thoirt air adhart tron doras chùl. Tha luchd-glèidhteachais agus luchd-poilitigs cuideachd ag innse dhan phrògraim na tha iadsan airson fhaicinn a thaobh dìon mara, le staing gnàth-shìde is na h-àrainneachd a' leantainn.

Highly Protected Marine Areas
In June 2023 the
Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero updated the Scottish Parliament, informing
members that the Scottish Government would no longer be seeking to implement
HPMAs across 10% of Scotland's seas by 2026. In her statement the Cabinet
Secretary acknowledged that the Government's own consultation on HPMAs had
drawn highly polarised responses and significant concerns about impacts on
coastal communities as well as delivery time. However, Màiri McAllan stated
that the Scottish Government remain "firmly committed to enhancing marine
protections".
On this week's Eòrpa, Micheal MacNeil explores what's next for marine protection in Scotland's seas. He hears from fishermen in coastal communities throughout Scotland who express their concerns that similar policies on marine protection could be introduced through the back door, as well as environmentalists and politicians about what they wish to see next in the face of a continuing nature and climate emergency.
