SIFT PROJECT
Save the Scottish Wrasse
With increasing evidence of the unsustainable trapping of Scottish wrasse for use as ‘cleaner fish’ by the aquaculture industry, SIFT is pushing for a sustainable and properly regulated wrasse fishery.
SIFT PROJECT

We produced an innovative proposal to revive the Firth of Clyde’s once great fishery, aiming to improve the Firth’s existing shellfish fishery and bring back its former finfish fishery.
SIFT PROJECT

SIFT PROJECT
