  • Dossier of Chemical Use on Scottish Salmon Farms (2008-2011)
    Dossier of Chemical Use on Scottish Salmon Farms (2008-2011) Based on data obtained from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency via Freedom of Information in July 2012 (available in full online here and read SEPA's data re-use statement online here ). More details online via FishyLeaks Summary: Total chemical use (Cypermethrin, Azamethiphos, Teflubenzuron, Emamectin benzoate & Deltamethrin) on Scottish salmon farms increased by 110% between 2008 and 2011 2008: 188076.07g 2009: 342847.8462g 2010: 373757.8495g 2011: 394630.5414g The alarming rise in chemical use is five times more than the percentage increase in salmon farming production: whilst Scottish farmed salmon production steadily increased by 22% between 2008 and 2011 (up from 128,606 tonnes to 157,385 tonnes) the use of toxic chemicals increased by a shocking 110% (up from 188076.07g to 394630.5414g). In terms of total chemical use (2008-2011), Azamethiphos accounts for over half (55%) with Emamectin benzoate (19%), Teflubenzuron (18%), Deltamethrin (5%) and Cypermethrin (3%). The relative composition of chemical use has changed since 2008 – but the use of Azamethiphos has always remained the largest component. As Cypermethrin use has declined the use of Teflubenzuron has increased to be the 2nd largest in 2011: Almost twice every day for the last four years (2008 to 2011), toxic chemicals were used on salmon farms across Scotland. Chemicals were used on 2,756 occasions with Emamectin benzoate used 1,028 times; Deltamethrin 914; Azamethiphos 487; Cypermethrin 315 and Teflubenzuron

  • The Salmon Farm Monitor
    The Salmon Farm Monitor th PRESS RELEASE – IMMEDIATE USE – 25 APRIL 2004 Scotland’s Toxic Toilets Revealed “Filthy Five” flood Scottish waters with chemical wastes Exclusive information obtained by the Salmon Farm Protest Group (SFPG) reveals that there are now ca. 1,400 licences for the use of Azamethiphos, Cypermethrin, Dichlorvos, Emamectin Benzoate, Formalin and Teflubenzuron on Scottish salmon, cod and halibut farms [1]. This chemical cocktail includes carcinogens, hormone disrupting compounds (“gender benders”) and marine pollutants [2]. Find out where Scotland’s “Toxic Toilets” are via The Salmon Farm Monitor: www.salmonfarmmonitor.org Responding to a request for information under the Freedom of Environmental Information Regulations, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency concede that since 1998 they have issued 311 licences for Cypermethrin, 282 for Azamethiphos, 212 for Teflubenzuron and 211 for Emamectin Benzoate (1016 in total). According to SEPA “around 20” licences are also still outstanding for the banned carcinogen Dichlorvos and the Scottish Executive admitted last year that SEPA has issued a further 360 licences for the use of Formalin since 1998 [3]. Special Areas of Conservation (as protected under the EC Habitats Directive) subject to chemical discharges include the Moray Firth, Firth of Lorne, Loch Creran, Loch Laxford, Loch Roag, Loch Duich and Loch Alsh. Other lochs include Ainort, Arnish, Broom, Carron, Diabaig, Erisort, Ewe, Fyne, Glencoul, Grimshader, Harport, Kanaird, Kishorn, Leven, Linnhe, Little Loch Broom, Maddy, Nevis, Portree, Seaforth, Shell, Sligachan, Snizort, Spelve, Striven, Sunart and Torridon. Of the 1016 licences issued since 1998 for Azamethiphos, Cypermethrin, Emamectin Benzoate and Teflubenzuron the biggest culprits – the “Filthy Five” – are Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd (152), Scottish Seafarms Ltd (139), Stolt Sea Farms Ltd (82), Lighthouse of Scotland Ltd/Lighthouse Highland Ltd (81) and Mainstream Scotland Ltd (69).

  • Geomorphological Signature and Flow Dynamics of the Minch Palaeo-Ice Stream, NW Scotland
    Geomorphological signature and flow dynamics of The Minch palaeo-ice stream, NW Scotland Tom Bradwell*1, Martyn Stoker1 & Rob Larter2 1 British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3LA, UK 2 British Antarctic Survey, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0ET, UK *corresponding author: email: [email protected] phone: 0131 6500284 fax: 0131 6681535 Abstract Large-scale streamlined glacial landforms are identified in 11 areas of NW Scotland, from the Isle of Skye in the south to the Butt of Lewis in the north. These ice-directional features occur in bedrock and superficial deposits, generally below 350 m above sea level, and where best developed have elongation ratios of >20:1. Sidescan sonar and multibeam echo-sounding data from The Minch show elongate streamlined ridges and grooves on the seabed, with elongation ratios of up to 70:1. These bedforms are interpreted as mega-scale glacial lineations. All the features identified formed beneath The Minch palaeo-ice stream which was c. 200 km long, up to 50 km wide and drained ~15,000 km2 of the NW sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet (Late Devensian Glaciation). Nine ice-stream tributaries and palaeo- onset zones are also identified, on the basis of geomorphological evidence. The spatial distribution and pattern of streamlined bedforms around The Minch has enabled the catchment, flow paths and basal shear stresses of the palaeo-ice stream and its tributaries to be tentatively reconstructed. Keywords: British-Irish Ice Sheet, Late Devensian, subglacial bedforms, palaeo-glaciology Introduction The palaeo-glaciology of the British-Irish Ice Sheet remains poorly understood despite a long history of glacial research in the UK.

    Determination of the Off-Site Emergency Planning and Prior Information Areas for the Loch Ewe Operational Berth Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 Project Assessment Report ONR-COP-PAR-16-025 Revision 0 5th July 2017 Office for Nuclear Regulation © Office for Nuclear Regulation, 2017 If you wish to reuse this information visit www.onr.org.uk/copyright for details. Published 07/17 For published documents, the electronic copy on the ONR website remains the most current publicly available version and copying or printing renders this document uncontrolled. Office for Nuclear Regulation Report ONR-COP-PAR-16-025 TRIM Ref: 2016/479238 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Determination of the Off-site Emergency Planning and Prior Information Areas for the Loch Ewe Operational Berth: Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is responsible for regulating the GB nuclear industry in order to protect the health and safety of employees and the public against risks of harm arising from ionising radiations. ONR is the regulatory authority for Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) on nuclear licensed sites, Ministry of Defence (MOD) Authorised nuclear sites and nuclear warship sites. ONR’s responsibilities include a legal duty, where it is concluded that there is a potential for a reasonably foreseeable radiation emergency (as defined in REPPIR), to determine an off-site emergency planning area (i.e. the area within which, in ONR’s opinion, any member of the public is likely to be affected by such an emergency). In these cases, there is also a legal duty, under the same Regulations, for ONR to determine an area within which prior information is to be distributed to the public.

Caird In the last two centuries kelp and fisheries, sheep farms, crofts, clearances, emigration and deer forests are the main developments which have contributed to the cultural landscape of the Highlands and Islands. The creation of crofts from Kintyre in Argyllshire to Unst in Shetland resulted in the formation of a distinctive landscape, settlement pattern and distribution of population, with the crofting population occupying small lots almost exclusively round the coast, except in the eastern parts of Inverness-shire, Ross and Cromarty and Sutherland and in Caithness and Orkney where the Old Red Sandstone provides potential arable land beyond the coastal fringe.

  • Scotland Trip May 14 to June 5, 2001
    SCOTLAND TRIP MAY 14 TO JUNE 5, 2001 The author of this travelogue wishes to acknowledge the following people without whose assistance our trip to Scotland would not have been so successful. Deepest appreciation is paid to Dr. Prof. Mrs. Linda J. (call me "Lee") Magid whose numerous university- and research-sponsored plane trips under the worst circumstances (packed like a sardine in the steerage cabin with the scum of the earth as her fellow passengers) allowed her to accumulate enough frequent-flier miles to get us free Business Elite tickets on Delta Airlines. Thanks are also due to the Directors of Delta Airlines whose miserly policies (setting aside but a tiny number of these "free" seats per flight) forced us to: (a) travel earlier in the summer than we had wanted, (b) spend three days more than we had planned, and (c) fly to and from destinations that are near, but not in, Scotland. Special tribute is also paid to good friend Prof. Dr. Dr. Maitland "Mad-Dog" Jones whose ire at our having traveled Business Elite last summer makes having done so, this summer, all the more enjoyable. EAT YOUR HEART OUT, JONESIE! Prof. Jones is also thanked for the confusing, misleading, and just plain wrong information that he provided, based upon his own travels in Scotland while in an alcoholic haze. And who could forget (although we’d like to) good friend Prof. Kelsey Cook who had visited the Scottish Highlands last summer and who provided maps, tour books, sage advice, and an interminably long slide show of his adventures; Prof.
