New Marine Science Labs at Dunstaffnage

Lodged by Jenni Minto (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the new facilities and opportunities that, it understands, have been created at Malin House, on the European Marine Science Park, following a £2 million investment by Highlands and Islands Enterprise; understands that five companies, Patogen AS, Tritonia Scientific Ltd, Ocean Ecology, Oceanium, and Shetland firm, Ocean Kinetics, have expanded into the new laboratories and offices; believes that the European Marine Science Park is a world-class facility, situated on the stunning Dunstaffnage peninsula in Argyll and Bute; considers that, in the context of what it sees as the global climate emergency, researchers at the Scottish Association of Marine Science, and commercial firms at the European Marine Science Park, are playing a key role in preserving and protecting the marine environment, and promoting sustainable economic activity, so that the marine environment can be used for the benefit of people without degrading its health and productivity; notes that preparatory work is under way to develop three more buildings, and wishes the European Marine Science Park continued success for the future.
