The co-ordinator who was employed by the IFG at that time, who had a background in marine science, spent about two years carrying out the initial scoping interviews and then produced a management plan. There was inevitably a focus on one or two matters that could well have a bearing on the issues that are raised in the petition, but what was produced was very much a scoping study.Under the structure that was set up by the Scottish Government for consideration of management plans, the plan has to go to a different level before it can be put before ministers but, quite simply, we have not yet reached that point.
