<P>I just wanted to make sure you saw this.</P>
<P>Scotland’s wildest, most unspoiled coastlines are <STRONG>under
threat from salmon megafarms.</STRONG> And officials are meeting in
mere weeks to decide whether to give the green light to a proposed
20-cage salmon farm off the idyllic Isle of Arran.</P>

<P><STRONG>Something’s rotten in the Scottish Isles.</STRONG></P>
<P>As you read this, <STRONG>salmon corporations are trying to
persuade local governments to let them build megafarms off the
country’s wildest, most unspoiled coastlines. </STRONG></P>
<P>The farms would <STRONG>fill the crystal-clear ocean water
with faeces, uneaten fishmeal and dead salmon.</STRONG> These farms
even <STRONG>threaten the porpoises, sea birds, and seals</STRONG>
who call these isles home.</P>
<P>Local residents have been <STRONG>fighting to defend their
beautiful islands from the salmon industry’s greed</STRONG>. You can
help them by <STRONG>demanding the Scottish government block all new
salmon farms off the country’s coasts and in its seas!</STRONG></P>
<P><U><STRONG><A style="COLOR: #00abbd; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"

the Scottish government: No new salmon farms!</A></STRONG></U></P>
<P>On their farms, <STRONG>multi-million pound companies like
Mowi and the Scottish Salmon Company cram thousands of tonnes of
fish into cages to become ‘sustainable’ filets</STRONG>, creating
the perfect conditions for disease and sea lice to spread.</P>
<P>The Scottish Salmon Company is <STRONG>so notorious for this it’s
been called the ‘liciest’ of its kind in Scotland.</STRONG>
Meanwhile, Mowi was put under investigation for
possibly misreporting the amount of chemicals -- like hydrogen
peroxide and pesticides -- it uses to control those outbreaks.</P>
<P>That’s not all. To keep hungry seals out of their fish pens, many
salmon farms install<STRONG> sonic devices that could harm nearby
whales and porpoises.</STRONG> And if these don’t work, they can
apply for a licence to shoot the seals. <STRONG>49 seals were shot
by Scottish salmon farmers</STRONG> in 2017 alone.</P>
<P><STRONG>Salmon corporations clearly have a long way to go until
their farms are truly clean, safe and healthy enough for Scotland’s
seas and the creatures that call it home.</STRONG> And until that
happens, we can’t let them off the hook.</P>

<P>Together, we’ve already forced change in this industry. Just last
year, over 33,000 members like you demanded better hygiene on salmon
farms, making headlines and pressuring the <STRONG>authorities into
championing stricter standards for waste pollution and sea lice
control.</STRONG></P>
<P>So we’re asking you to join us again. <STRONG>And that starts
with demanding the Scottish government halt salmon farm expansion
right now -- and keep this industry from steamrolling the country’s
delicate coasts and seas.</STRONG></P>
