The national marine plan needs to first protect and then restore vulnerable areas such as those beds, alongside the marine protected area legislation. In one comparatively small sea loch in Wester Ross there is all manner of activity, including three ferries a day; commercial trawling; fishing; scallop diving; shellfish creel fishing; divers visiting three wrecks; sea angling; wildlife boat trips; people using skiffs, kayaks and canoes and mooring yachts; windsurfing; water-skiing; people attending a sailing school; fish farming; visiting cruise liners; and even wee girls and boys fishing off the end of the jetty or, if they get the chance, the big pier.
