In July, the Scottish Government granted consent for Berwick Bank offshore windfarm, despite warnings from RSPB Scotland and many others of the catastrophic impact on seabirds.

This decision risks disaster for many species, including Red-listed Gannets, Kittiwakes and Puffins. That’s why, RSPB Scotland, alongside the National Trust for Scotland, the Marine Conservation Society, the Scottish Seabird Centre and the Scottish Wildlife Trust, have written to Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney to stop Berwick Bank and save seabird species from national extinction.

Berwick Bank will be built off Scotland's east coast, close to vital seabird feeding grounds and globally important sites including Bass Rock – home to one of the world’s largest colonies of Gannets. The windfarm will be huge, including more than 300 turbines, covering an area four times the size of Edinburgh.
