"Scottish Salmon Industry Volunteers Clear Over 23 Tonnes of Beach Litter in 2023"
Volunteers from the Scottish salmon farming sector have undertaken a significant cleanup initiative, removing more than 23 tonnes of litter from Scottish beaches last year. This proactive effort aims to maintain cleanliness in their surrounding areas.
The collaboration involves volunteers from various salmon industry players, often partnering with local organizations. However, data compiled for 2023, while substantial, may underestimate the total amount of litter removed as it doesn't encompass all farms.
Reported figures from five major salmon producers—Mowi Scotland, Scottish Sea Farms, Bakkafrost Scotland, Cooke Aquaculture Scotland, and Loch Duart—reveal a collective removal of 23.6 tonnes of litter. This effort, equivalent to the weight of approximately 18 Volkswagen Golf cars, required 661 hours of work, translating to 83 working days.
Tavish Scott, Salmon Scotland's chief executive, commended the volunteers' dedication but expressed concern over the alarming volume of litter found on local beaches.
The cleanup operations unearthed a mix of aquaculture-related waste, household items, and recreational debris, including peculiar finds like car parts, a barbecue, and numerous discarded shoes.
The cleanup efforts spanned various coastal regions from Orkney to the Hebridean islands, reaching as far as Scotland's north-west coast and inland waterways like Loch Ness, Loch Shiel, Loch Garry, Loch Arkaig, and Loch Leven.
This ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship extends beyond beach cleanups. In 2020, salmon farmers pledged to uphold a sustainability charter, aiming to prevent marine debris originating from their farms and promptly address reported instances. The public can contribute to this initiative by reporting aquaculture debris via a designated marine debris hotline.
