That the Parliament congratulates citizen scientists in Dumfries and Galloway who saved their shoreline from an invasive seaweed species; believes that an incredible 4,000 volunteers took to the shorelines of the Rhins of Galloway to learn more about marine wildlife on their doorstep; understands that the volunteers used a specifically designed seaweed identification guidebook to discover the devastating impact that an invasive Asian heritage seaweed, Wakame, was having on habitats on the region’s most beautiful beaches; praises the work that the community undertook over the course of a year, exploring and monitoring the shoreline; believes that, through this hard work, the invasive seaweed has now gone and marine life has returned to normal; recognises that grant funding provided by ScottishPower Renewables’ Kilgallioch Windfarm Community Benefit Fund has helped enable Galloway Seaweed Search to educate communities through training, exhibitions and guided walks to equip locals to act as citizen scientists with the confidence to carry out seashore surveys themselves, and believes that this success demonstrates how volunteers and experts can work together to tackle the unique issues facing Scotland's regions.
