I have a new website: simon-macdonald.com

I’m looking forward to speaking at the @fisheriesappg #FishingSeascape event on 30 Nov. I’ll be summarising comments & insights from the #fishing industry on #MarineSpatialPlanning. Register here and join the conversation: buff.ly/3Ad3nM1

@ProfMarkMaslin But at what cost to the fishing industry and coastal communities and processors that rely on fishing.

Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy could save the world as much as $12tn by 2050, an Oxford University study says. The report said it was wrong and pessimistic to claim that moving quickly towards cleaner energy sources was expensive. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

@Ianblackford_MP Stunning Ian, I remember the summer of ‘76 on Skye, and waking up to the mist on the loch every day.

The mist has not lifted from the loch all day but it brings its own twist to the beauty of the view.

@jrclarkbf800 I know these waters so well John.and all the way down to Ardnamurchan.

Office View today,island of Rhum enroute to Mallaig on the Stunning Westcoast of Scotland

We're counting down the days until @SeafoodExpo_GL! With 18 different Scottish seafood companies on stand & 8 others on their own stands, as well as the excitement of a new venue we're looking forward to returning. If you're at the show, come & meet our companies on Stand 2E601.

@SeafoodFromScot @jrclarkbf800 @SeafoodExpo_GL Looking forward to this great showcase of the very best of Scottish Seafood. I will sea you all there!

@buddingrose418 Mackerel not that far away then

Lots of #seabirds alongside us this trip mostly #gannets

@Ianblackford_MP Not a discount. This is a £200 enforced loan. Putting us in debt whether you want to be or not!

For every step Scotland takes forward in tackling poverty, Westminster drags us back. Whether it’s Tory cuts to Universal Credit, regressive tax hikes, the soaring cost of Brexit, or the failure on energy bills - damaging decisions at Westminster are pushing people into poverty.

@Ianblackford_MP He is a disgrace to the United Kingdom and has brought shame on us all in the eyes of the world

Boris Johnson's conduct has been a disgrace. It is clear the Prime Minister repeatedly broke the rules and lied about it. He is unfit for office and he has to go.

@CFAScot Happy New Year to all!

@spfa_uk @jrclarkbf800 Without a doubt, one of the healthiest fish you can eat. Rich in Omega 3s

Scottish North Sea herring has great flavour and is healthy to eat, which means it ticks all the right boxes when looking for something new to try in your weekly shop scottishpelagic.co.uk #herring

New entrants to fishing will be able to apply for funding towards the purchase of a second hand fishing vessel. 🐟 The support is being made available as part of Marine Fund Scotland (MFS), with info on eligibility published this morning. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/YoungFishers

@jrclarkbf800 Excellent, and lets hope they also start buying more from Scottish ports as well.

Fantastic lets hope it does well and other Supermarkets follow suit thegrocer.co.uk/fish/aldi-back…

@BBCRosAtkins @MichaelCoxJ @mhosseini01 @rhartmann_ Chair of West Coast Regional Inshore Fisheries Group, I'm happy to chat.
