The objectives have been grouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk by maintaining current levels of management. Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding. Where known, these actions are described here.

The Control of Sea Lice in Fish
THE CONTROL OF SEA LICE ON FISH FARMS IN SCOTLAND 2013-2015 A REPORT FOR SALMON AND TROUT CONSERVATION SCOTLAND DECEMBER 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fisheries scientists are increasingly firm in their conclusions that sea lice produced on fish-farms harm wild salmonids, both at an individual and at a population level, making the proper control of sea-lice on fish-farms essential to protect wild fish. Although analysis of control of sea-lice on Scottish fish-farms is severely hampered by the lack of farm-specific sea lice data, publicly available data for 2013 to 2015 shows that the number of Scottish fish-farming regions failing to keep adult female sea lice numbers below the CoGP threshold is on an upward trend. The industry- wide problem with sea lice is increasing and is certainly not under control. The proportion of the total Scottish farms salmon production exceeding CoGP thresholds shows a similar upward trend, with regions representing 60% of Scottish production being over the CoGP threshold of 0.5 adult female lice per fish in May 2015, at the peak of the wild smolt run. There is strong evidence that sea lice numbers on fish farms rise during the second year of production and, in much of Scotland, average adult female sea lice numbers per farmed fish appear to be linked to the cumulative biomass of farmed fish held on the farms. There is evidence of the considerable failure in some regions of available chemical sea lice treatments to limit sea lice numbers on farmed fish to below CoGP thresholds, strongly suggesting that resistance and tolerance to these treatments is becoming widespread.

Vidlin in the Great War 1914
Vidlin in the Great War 1914 - 1918 (Slide 1)On 28 June 1914, just about 100 years ago, Gavrillo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and set in motion the events which would culminate in the First World War – or as it was known then, The Great War. No other conflict has claimed as many lives from Vidlin as The Great War. I think it is appropriate at this time that we should remember – or in my case learn – what those men were doing, why they were doing it and how their efforts impacted on the wider conduct of the war. Pictures of the men have been provided by The Lunnasting History Group. The following does not cover the causes of the war or its conclusion; neither does it address the conflict’s major controversies except where they impact upon the stories of the men from Vidlin. It does not provide a general narrative of the war, nor does it glorify or denigrate those who fought. It seeks merely to highlight the actions of those who saw where they believed their duty lay and so went off to do it. (Slide 2) There are ten names on the Vidlin war memorial. Of those ten, five died of natural causes. This may, at first sight seem odd; one does not think of natural causes as a major wartime killer. But, disease is the normal cause of death for most of us, so it should not be so surprising that this normal aspect of life continues during the most abnormal times. Indeed the conduct of military operations improves the opportunity for natural causes to kill.

British Birds Report on Rare Birds in Great Britain in 1994
British Birds Established 1907; incorporating 'The Zoologist', established 1843 Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 1994 Michael J. Rogers and the Rarities Committee, with comments by P. M. Ellis and A. M. Stoddart As this thirty-seventh annual report of the Rarities Committee illustrates, the changing fortunes of rare birds visiting Great Britain continue to be sufficient to stimulate discussion and speculation, and sometimes, indeed, disagreement. Their appeal remains undimmed and the Report aims to meet the needs of the wide variety of interests among rarity enthusiasts. Our principal aim is straightforward: to provide as complete and accurate a record as possible year by year. This can then be used by those responsible for producing county and local bird reports, books, lists and papers, as the 'official' record of rare birds in our islands. The Rarities Committee forms part of an increasing international network of such committees and gains strength from that and from its widespread recognition as a model upon which others are based. We are conscious, of course, of the need to provide interest and entertainment: simply reading a report should be enjoyable in itself, and even ensuring that the names of those people involved in finding and identifying birds are included is something that we take seriously. Then there is what might be called the scientific aim of recording rare birds. This relies on the completeness and accuracy already mentioned and it is the integrity of the Committee and its actions, and the attitude it takes towards reaching difficult decisions, that determines the value of its ultimate product.

Scottish Natural Heritage FACTS and FIGURES 1996-97
Scottish Natural Heritage FACTS AND FIGURES 1996-97 Working with Scotland’s people to care for our natural heritage PREFACE SNH Facts and Figures 1996/97, contains a range of useful facts and statistics about SNH’s work and is a companion publication to our Annual Report. SNH came into being on 1 April 1992, and in our first Annual Report we published an inventory of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). After an interval of five years it is appropriate to now update this inventory. We have also provided a complete Scottish listing of National Nature Reserves, National Scenic Areas, European sites and certain other types of designation. As well as the information on sites, we have also published information on our successes during 1996/97 including partnership funding of projects, details of grants awarded, licences issued and our performance in meeting our standards for customer care. We have also published a full list of management agreements concluded in 1996/97. We hope that those consulting this document will find it a useful and valuable record. We are committed to being open in the way we work and if there is additional information you require, contact us, either at any local offices (detailed in the telephone directory) or through our Public Affairs Branch, Scottish Natural Heritage, 12 Hope Terrace, Edinburgh EH9 2AS.
