Please add your voice to those calling for First Minister John Swinney & SSE to #StopBerwickBank 👇🏻
Each spring hundreds of thousands of seabirds, from puffins to gannets, return to the safety of the Firth of Forth islands to breed. Berwick Bank could kill thousands of them.
Please join us to call on SSE and First Minister John Swinney to #StopBerwickBank↙️

Take a moment to explore an Orcadian #seagrass meadow & meet the creatures that call it home! 🦀
#Orkney is a special place for #RestorationForth… the seagrass meadows highlight the #MarineLife that this super species can support, and the local community always gives the team a very warm welcome. 💚
