On Saturday I went up Nebifield to see how the Gannets were getting on. They seemed to be doing OK despite the numbers lost in 2022 to the bird flu.

It was good to see Chris again and to meet Kate and peerie Magnus for the first time. Hopefully we'll get them over to Foula to walk the most spectacular bit of Europes Atlantic coast.

What do you get when you mix a world-class fisheries scientist, a dash of blunt honesty, and a pinch of Attenborough critique? A podcast episode that doesn’t shy away from rocking the boat. 🎙️ Dr. Michel Kaiser, Professor of Fisheries Conservation and Co-Director of the Lyell Centre, joins us to unpack decades of work bridging science, policy, and the real-world grit of fishing life.

Michel dives deep into the murky waters of marine protected areas, questioning the feel-good narratives in films like Ocean. He makes a strong case for trawling - not as a villain, but as a vital cog in the global food machine - and doesn’t hold back when it comes to defending the UK’s stewardship of its seas. “Absolute nonsense,” he says, to claims we’re not looking after our waters. This one’s got brains, backbone, and a few waves. 🌊

It's only going to get worse for the next day or two

The first official days of summer and this is the sea outside Hamnavoe.
Our fishing fleet work in conditions like this and worse for most of the year to bring us a sustainable, highly nutritional and very tasty food. Such a shame our government is doing everything it can to destroy the local industry.
Just what exactly do they have against our fishermen and farmers? These are the folks that feed us.

A watery sky

09/04/2025

With less than two weeks until we start our summer season, here's a short film harking back to a quieter time in Shetland, before the oil really kicked in.
Though the oil companies payed handsomely to folks that were displaced the current wind industry is a lot less generous for far more disruption.

The Northern most part of the United Kingdom - The Shetland Islands - Thames Television's 'This Week' asks locals about the discovery of oil in the North Sea...
