Scottish Marine Bill

Scottish Marine Bill

The 'Sustainable Seas for All - A Consultation on Scotland's First Marine Bill' closed on 6 October 2008.  The Moray Firth Partnership, in conjunction with Scottish Government, hosted 3 public information events around the Moray Firth coast to hear about and discuss proposals for Scotland's First Marine Bill.

These free events took place In Inverness on Wednesday 10th September, in Thurso on Tuesday 23rd September, and in Banff on Wednesday 24th September. The Inverness event was a full day session with presentations and workshops and the Thurso and Banff events were shorter, two hour briefing sessions with a presentation from a senior Scottish Government Marine Directorate official followed by an open question and answer session.

All the Moray Firth events were successful and well attended.  Reports for each event will be available on-line in due course.  Please follow the links to view and/or download.
