Consider outputs of the Defra clean catch programme when available. Consider just transition approaches and ensuring fairness for fishers in the implementation of fisheries management compensatory measures.

Lot Title: Marine litter removal (at scale)

Lot Description: Lot 5 Marine litter removal (at scale) Identify key actions to minimise incidental seabird mortality and that specifically reduce sources of litter that impact on seabird survival and resilience. Consider litter from both domestic (e.g. dropped litter) and industrial sources (e.g. fishing nets). Consider prevention actions that could support delivery of this measure. Consider removal from terrestrial (breeding sites, beaches) and marine (seabird foraging areas) habitats. We anticipate that to be effective this measure would need to implemented at a large spatial scale, consider the appropriate spatial scales for implementation of this measure. Also consider just transition approaches in implementation and alignment with the Scottish Marine Litter Strategy.
