MAFA SURVEY OF THE PROPOSED COASTAL AND MARINE NATIONAL PARK

 

We have told the Scottish Executive about the Industry’s fears and concerns about the proposed Marine Park.

So that we can show the strength of feeling within the Association, please answer the questions below.  We would also welcome extra comments

 

1          Do you feel that the consultation process is adequate and that members fully      understand the proposals and implications of a CMNP? 

            Yes o   No o  -----65 voted no

2          Should a Park Authority/Board have any control over fishing/aquaculture and the           marine environment that they operate in?

            Yes o    No o------65 voted no

3          Do members believe a CMNP can bring any socio-economic benefits to their    industries?

            Yes o   No  o -----63 voted no and 2 left blank with 1 comment of “unlikely” 

4          When we have detailed information about the proposals, do you believe that there         should be a referendum in the whole area designated as a park?

            Yes  o   No   o ----65 voted yes

5          I did not answer some of the questions because:

 

                        a)         there was not enough information  o--  63 blank and 2 ticked box

                       

                        b)         other reasons  o ---64 blank--  1 person ticked box and attached a letter explaining reasons against the introduction of a Park
