Here’s an interesting little graphic from SEPA’s interactive online map. It simply shows the location of the Special Area of Conservation for dolphins (the green hatched box). You will note that the existing transfer site at Nigg jetty (marked “fabrication yard”) is outwith the SAC. The new STS at sea sites are very much within the protected area. OK, so its a line on a map, its all the same body of water but what’s the point of having a protected area if you are not going to afford it the protection it needs?? Tomorrow we’ll give you a sorry tale from the other side of the planet to emphasise the point.
