To ask the Scottish Executive whether it is aware of the Marine Health Check report by Worldwide Fund for Nature, in particular the conclusion that the health of the marine environment is deteriorating, and what action it intends to take in response to this report.
Answer
I have only received this report in the last week. I can assure Mr Harper that I will be studying it carefully.From a preliminary read it is clear that the report raises issues which go considerably beyond the competence of this Parliament. But I agree we need to take careful note of the report's contents and ensure that they are fed into our policy considerations for the marine environment.

The detailed breakdown of expenditure by local authority area can only be supplied by individual local authorities.
