“The Scottish Government’s decision to consent Berwick Bank today is devastating news for seabirds, with tens of thousands predicted to be killed by the development."

More than 2000 people have added their voice to the Scottish Seabird Centre’s ‘Say No to Berwick Bank Windfarm’ campaign, sending a clear message to Scottish Government about the strength of support for their calls to reject the Berwick Bank proposal and get behind nature-positive offshore wind instead [1].
