Scotland’s first ever National Marine Plan has been published today by Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead. The plan recognises fishing and ports along with the more recently emerging addition to scottish waters, offshore wind and marine renewable energy. It also includes sectoral plans for offshore wind, wave and tidal energy.

With regards to offshore wind, wave and tidal this does remove the options for offshore wind development in the Solway Firth.

Mr Lochhead, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and Environment said:
“The Scottish Government is committed to supporting the economic activity of the marine industry while ensuring the marine environment is protected and enhanced."

Lindsay Leask, Senior Policy Manager , Scottish Renewables said:
“Offshore renewable energy holds huge potential for sustainable development in Scotland, which is already home to some of the most advanced wave and tidal technologies in the world, and a developing offshore wind sector. It is also an incredibly powerful tool in the fight against one of the greatest widespread threats to the health of the marine environment – climate change.

“As such, Scottish Renewables supports the development of the National Marine Plan and the plans for offshore wind, wave and tidal energy and welcomes the Plan’s commitment to building a globally competitive Scottish offshore wind and marine renewables industry.”
