Cod, herring and haddock may vanish from Scotland’s west coast waters by the turn of the century because of global warming. Researchers at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), near Oban, have predicted that by 2100 commercially important species could migrate out from this ecosystem, most likely to colder waters further north, in response […]

The strategy has been widely welcomed as signalling Government’s commitment. ‘It sets a direction, a tone and a set of goals, which together are an impressive […]
A new collaborative study, published in ‘Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems’, modelled how marine climate change could affect the future establishment of new species in northwest Europe, to enable scientists to understand the potential impacts to anticipate and plan for such establishing populations. Marine species can be accidentally transported via a range of activities […]
