The Clyde Fishery
The motion
That the Parliament notes the presentation given in Committee Room 5 on 17 January 2013 on the history of the Clyde Fishery from 1950 by the past chairman of the Clyde Fishermen’s Association, Mr Kenneth MacNab, of Tarbert in Argyll and Bute; notes that the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment, Richard Lochhead, who was in attendance along with other members, staff, government officials and senior officers of Marine Scotland, described Mr MacNab’s knowledge as “invaluable”; notes that Mr MacNab drew on his first-hand experience of fishing the Clyde waters for over 40 years and set out a range of concerns regarding the future of the fishing sector in that area, and considers that local practical knowledge, combined with scientific evidence, can help achieve sustainable fisheries and fishing communities in the Clyde estuary and elsewhere on the west coast.
