THE Scottish public would support restrictions on commercial fishing if it was necessary to protect marine ecology, a new survey has revealed.
The poll was commissioned by the Wildlife Trust to examine public attitudes to our coastal waters. It found that a majority of Scots questioned - 87 per cent - placed the conservation of sea life over commercial fishing, and supported the imposition of restrictions on where it could take place.
