As part of our FirthAid water quality project we have looked back at how we have treated the Firth of Forth over the last 25 years.
A sobering view of many incidents relating to sewage, plastic pollution, algal blooms, oil leaks and an overall lack of care. Incidents appear to be reported more frequently, though this may be because we have more awareness now, rather than them happening more often.
Our school report card would say ‘Could do better’ at best … What do we want to see in the next 25 years? We must improve this.
