• Why Join SSACN

  Many species of fish, once very common in Scottish waters are now commercially extinct.
  
  15+ million fish are discarded annually in the Clyde Nephrops fishery.
  
  500+ million fish are discarded annually in the waters around Scotland.
  
  EU fleets discard 2+ BILLION fish annually in the North Sea.
  
  Four species of shark - spurdog, porbeagle, common skate and tope urgently need management plans to stop their rapid decline.
