Wildlife

Scotland's marine environment is exceptional and diverse. Over 18,000km of coastline, more than 900 islands, and around 61% of the UK's seas support more than 6,500 species of animals and plants.

Cancel Berwick Bank

Help our seabirds out! Berwick Bank threatens to be the deadliest windfarm for birds anywhere in the world. That's why we’ve joined forces with RSPB Scotland, the Scottish Wildlife Trust, the National Trust for Scotland and the Marine Conservation Society to tell SSE and the Scottish Government to Cancel Berwick Bank.
