That the Parliament recognises that Scotland’s fishing and seafood industry is a key economic driver, supporting jobs, businesses and communities across the country, including in the Banffshire and Buchan Coast constituency; celebrates the diversity of Scotland’s fishing and seafood sector, from catching and processing to engineering, logistics and exports; considers that the Scottish fish quota is a strategic national asset and believes that it should deliver maximum benefit to Scotland’s economy and to coastal communities; recognises what it sees as the success of the economic link licence in increasing the volume of catch landed and processed in Scotland; understands that this has helped support local employment, encouraged investment in ports and infrastructure, and strengthened supply chains in coastal areas, and notes the view that maintaining and strengthening policies that anchor economic value in Scotland is vital to securing a sustainable and prosperous future for the fishing industry and the communities that depend upon it.
