The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges that 8 June 2020 is World Oceans Day; recognises that this year’s aim is to call on governments across the world to protect 30% of the blue planet; notes that, in Scotland, community groups are to share a fund of £150,000 to celebrate Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters, and welcomes Scottish Natural Heritage’s announcement that 24 projects across Scotland have secured awards through its Plunge In! Coasts and Waters Fund, and further welcomes community projects and action aimed at increasing education around, and protection of, Scotland’s coasts and waters given the intimate relationship between their health and the health of Scotland.
