Bass Rock Gannets Say No to Russian Heavy Oil Transfer Right Next-door
The 'snow' in this photo is actually caused by a myriad of the Bass Rock's gannets who are at risk because of oil-industry greed and contempt for the wishes of Scotland's people. The largest single island gannet colony in the world, the Bass Rock, in the Firth of Forth, is home to 150,000 Atlantic gannets and is described by the great naturalist, Sir David Attenborough as "one of the twelve wildlife wonders of the world"
Read this oil-spill contingency plan and weep about the fact that they don't appear to care a stuff about nature's beauty. www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/stscontingencyplan291105.pdf
So studies of the Forth's tidal patterns predict that there is only a 10%-40% chance that my local beach will be fouled, if there is a spillage of 300 tonnes of oil. Well that's all right then!
Nature-lovers and lovers of the Firth of Forth’s beaches, are asked to register your protests about the renewed bid by the government agency, the Marine and Coastguard Agency, to transfer Russian heavy oil in the Firth. Defeated once in the courts, they have tried to sneak in a second time via a laughably short six-week consultation and protest period. They want to transfer from ship to ship, some of the most toxic, viscous oils in the world, right next to The Isle of May and Bass Rock, Craigleith and Fidra, nature reserves. Rebuffed by all and sundry two years ago they now show arrogant contempt for the wishes of all. Please email them at csst@mcga.gov.uk and register your protest. They have shown total contempt for the opposition of, M.P.’s, M. S.P.s, local regional councils, fishermen, nature conservancy bodies and nobodies like you and I. They hope to get their evil way through apathy and not enough people knowing about this, or even caring. Not if I have breath in my body, they won't!
