The Scottish Seabird Centre is delighted to announce funding from the SafeDeposits Scotland Community Fund and DWF Foundation to support a project designed to make environmental action accessible to all.

“While we welcome the Seabird Action Plan, it follows the devestating decision earlier this month to consent Berwick Bank offshore windfarm, which is projected to kill tens of thousands of seabirds. Ultimately, it’s actions that count and unless this strategy results in a sea change in approach from the Scottish Government, it will be worthless.”

“The Scottish Government’s decision to consent Berwick Bank today is devastating news for seabirds, with tens of thousands predicted to be killed by the development."

More than 2000 people have added their voice to the Scottish Seabird Centre’s ‘Say No to Berwick Bank Windfarm’ campaign, sending a clear message to Scottish Government about the strength of support for their calls to reject the Berwick Bank proposal and get behind nature-positive offshore wind instead [1].
