COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Assessing the effectiveness of early warning systems for the detection of marine invasive non-native species in Scottish waters Commissioned Report No. 874 Project No: 14961 Contractor: Scottish Association for Marine Science Year of publication: 2015 Keywords Marine non-native species; early warning system; survey techniques; detection; marinas; fish farms. Background Invasive non-native species (INNS) are considered to be one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, particularly through their interactions with other drivers of change. These species are initially transported through human intervention outside their natural range and across ecological barriers, before becoming established in a new location, where they can have negative impacts on the ecology, as well as serious economic and social impacts.
  • The Best of Walking in Scotland

    The Best of Walking in Scotland

    1 The Best of Walking in Scotland Scotland is a land of contrasts—an ancient country with a modern outlook, where well-loved traditions mingle with the latest technology. Here you can tread on some of the oldest rocks in the world and wander among standing stones and chambered cairns erected 5,000 years ago. However, that little cottage you pass may have a high-speed Internet connection and be home to a jewelry designer or an architect of eco-friendly houses. Certainly, you’ll encounter all the shortbread and tartan you expect, though kilts are normally reserved for weddings and football matches. But far more traditional, although less obviously so, is the warm welcome you’ll receive from the locals. The farther you go from the big cities, the more time people have to talk—you’ll find they have a genuine interest in where you come from and what you do. Scotland’s greatest asset is its clean, green landscapes, where walkers can fill their lungs with pure, fresh air. It may only be a wee (small) country, but it has a variety of walks to rival anywhere in the world. As well as the splendid mountain hikes to be found in the Highlands, there’s an equal extent of Lowland terrain with gentle riverside walks and woodland strolls. The indented coastline and numerous islands mean that there are thousands of miles of shore to explore, while the many low hills offer exquisite views over the countryside. There’s walking to suit all ages and tastes. Some glorious countryside with rolling farmland, lush woods, and grassy hills can be reached within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

    Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary

    Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary Corranbuie & Skipness LMP was approved on 30-1-12017 and runs for 10 years. Vision Corranbuie and Skipness are two adjoining forests, see map 1 Location, lying immediately to the south of the village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne, linked by open hill land rising to over 350m at the highest point. Loch Fyne forms the majority of the eastern boundary while the western area is adjacent to elevated heath and private forestry plantations. Tarbert and Skipness are the closest settlements and the nearest transport link is the A83T which links Tarbert with Campbeltown. Ferry routes run close by from Tarbert to Portavadie, Claonaig to Arran and Kennacraig to Islay. Tarbert is an important tourist hub, with access provision into the forest from the village. The Kintyre Way runs through the forest. The eastern coastal strip is noted for its designated Atlantic oakwoods. The total combined management area is 2996.8ha. The primary objectives for the plan area are • Economic and sustainable timber production, including windblow clearance. • PAWS restoration. • Development of habitat networks. • Landscape improvement. • Enhancement and protection of Tarbert to Skipness Coast SSSI and Tarbert Woods SAC. • Construction of new forest roads. • Enhancement of the Kintyre Way. • Protection and enhancement water features and water supplies. • Delivery of Deep Peat policy outcomes • Contribution to renewables targets through hydro-scheme construction. • Protection and enhancement of cultural heritage assets. • To

    Islands Living Well Network (Mull and Iona, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay) 19/04/2021

    Islands Living Well Network (Mull and Iona, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay) 19/04/2021 The Living Well Network to date Originally there were 7 Health and Wellbeing Networks in Argyll and Bute and the Islands were included with Oban and Lorn. Back in 2015, the Islands Health and Wellbeing Network was created, separately from Oban and Lorn and I took on the role of Health and Wellbeing Network Coordinator. I work the equivalent of one day a week alongside the 7 other Network Coordinators in Argyll and Bute and the NHS Public Health Team. I cover Mull and Iona, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay. Our Network has been coordinated differently from mainland based networks. We held Health and Wellbeing events on individual islands instead of Health and Wellbeing meetings for the whole network. The Island events brought together local people to showcase what they do, mainland based network Partners to share information about the support they provided on the Islands and members of the Island communities were encouraged to attend and gather information. In March 2020 the Health and Wellbeing Networks were renamed the Living Well Networks, linking in with the Living Well Strategy for Argyll and Bute. Then along came the first Covid-19 lockdown and we all had no choice but to work remotely. Zoom became a thing and we were able to network and communicate remotely. We used this to our advantage and for a few months held monthly Zoom sessions, each with 3 mainland based Network Partners as guest speakers. These monthly Zoom sessions were useful in getting information from mainland based Network Partners to the Island communities and also helped the mainland based Network Partners to keep in touch with us.

    Scottish Nature Omnibus Survey August 2019

    Scottish Natural Heritage Scottish Nature Omnibus Survey August 2019 The general public’s perceptions of Scotland’s National Nature Reserves Published: December 2019 People and Places Scottish Natural Heritage Great Glen House Leachkin Road Inverness IV3 8NW For further information please contact [email protected] 1. Introduction The Scottish Nature Omnibus (SNO) is a survey of the adult population in Scotland which now runs on a biennial basis. It was first commissioned by SNH in 2009 to measure the extent to which the general public is engaged with SNH and its work. Seventeen separate waves of research have been undertaken since 2009, each one based on interviews with a representative sample of around 1,000 adults living in Scotland; interviews with a booster sample of around 100 adults from ethnic minority groups are also undertaken in each survey wave to enable us to report separately on this audience. The SNO includes a number of questions about the public’s awareness of and visits to National Nature Reserves (see Appendix). This paper summarises the most recent findings from these questions (August 2019), presenting them alongside the findings from previous waves of research. Please note that between 2009 and 2015 the SNO was undertaken using a face to face interview methodology. In 2017, the survey switched to an on-line interview methodology, with respondents sourced from members of the public who had agreed to be part of a survey panel. While the respondent profile and most question wording remained the same, it should be borne in mind when comparing the 2017 and 2019 findings with data from previous years that there may be differences in behaviour between people responding to a face to face survey and those taking part in an online survey that can impact on results.
