Cullivoe  
        Harbour

Shetland’s third Designated Landing Port for fish, Cullivoe in Yell, has joined the Fishing for Litter Scotland Project. This is the fifteenth harbour to join the marine litter scheme.  

The launch has been as a result of a partnership with R.S. Henderson, Shetland Amenity Trust and KIMO UK. Fishing vessels participating in the scheme will be able to land full bags of marine litter, which will be collected, by Shetland Amenity Trust’s North Isles Environmental Improvement Squad for safe disposal. 

Rick Nickerson, former Project Coordinator stated: 

“I am delighted to expand the scheme with the addition of Cullivoe. Since achieving its designated status an increasing amount of boats are taking advantage of the facilities there to reduce their travel times to Lerwick and thus their days at sea. lt is important that the scheme has a wide as possible geographical coverage to allow boats to participate.”
