The April 2023 issue of Geographical magazine features the 'controversial' salmon farming industry in Scotland:

The article is authored by Mark Rowe:

I've written a feature for @geographicalmag on #salmonfarming & impacts on the environment & people of the #Orkney island of #PapayWestray
How a series of small projects can add up to one overwhelming problem. And how it's hard for small voices to be heard@TheGAAIA @PapayRanger pic.twitter.com/rTipyVfyLX

For those without a subscription to Geographical magazine or access to a decent newsagent (it took me a week to track down a copy) here's a pirated copy:

"Papay is a special place" says Wendy Elves @GeographicalMag "When you are so far from anywhere else, you don't expect to come up against such a fight. We need to be careful. We don't want Papay to be known as 'the island surrounded by fish farms'" @CookeScotland @amy_may pic.twitter.com/9fCr0pE65W

"Putting a salmon in a cage is cruelty, akin to doing the same with a golden eagle or an albatross" says Don Staniford of Scamon $cotland @GeographicalMag "Even if you improve the space for the fish, it is still the lesser of two evils. There is no right way to do this" pic.twitter.com/3z107deGZD

"Farmed salmon is a juggernaut of an industry. It's not going to be stopped overnight. But it starts with community resistance, community fightback – as we see in Papa Westray" @GeographicalMag @CookeScotland @ScotlandSalmon @the_gsfr pic.twitter.com/ZxEyBMIXZL
