She’s also a coordinator for OurSeas Coalition, which is an alliance of Scottishorganisations, businesses, communitiesand individuals that support a move to thesustainable use of coastal seas. And finallythere’s Bally Philip, a creel fisherman andmember of the Scottish Creel Fishermen’sFederation. A creel is a baited pot or a trapthat does very little damage to the seabed,and is designed around a specific animal, soother creatures aren’t killed unnecessarily.The picture since the repealing of the threemileinshore limit in 1984 is grim – fish specieshave plummeted; seabeds have becomebarren and commercial fishing has changedbeyond recognition. But the custodians havea unanimous strategy in the hope of recovery:bring back a version of the inshore limit; givepreferential access to low-impact fishers, andmake sure it’s properly policed, to make surethe low-impact fishers are behaving in a lowimpactway, and so the high-impact fisherscan’t sneak in at night.We can all help. Bally says: “Firstly, chooseproducts that aren’t caught by bottomtrawling. Secondly tell decision-makers andpoliticians that you don’t support bottomtrawling right up to our shores. There aremany grassroots movements fighting againstheavy industrial fisheries, and the morepeople supporting these the better.”HOW TO HELP:• Sign Patagonia’s petition againstbottom trawling at www.patagonia.com.• Seawilding runs volunteer eventssuch as seagrass harvesting andseed processing, as well supportingseagrass surveys in your area.
