Save Papay

We are still awaiting a response @MairiMcAllan to our open letter last November, calling for a moratorium on further fish farm development around Scotland. #saveourseas #enoughisenough #nomorefishfarms

An opinion poll, conducted anonymously after an open public meeting on the island, found that most who participated would welcome a local plebiscite on the matter, and that the majority want @MairiMcAllan to call the East Moclett decision in for further examination.
