Safeguarding Our Heritage
The Fair Isle marine resource: A community proposal for its sustainable management

Safeguarding our Heritage: Conclusion

There is no reason why a rational use of Fair Isle marine resources should not be achieved which maintains a balanced, ecologically sound relationship between users and their environment. The site is undeniably rich, internationally important and vulnerable to current and future inappropriate developments. Most significantly of all, Fair Isle has a human community dedicated to safeguarding a resource for its environmental, cultural heritage and socio-economic values and prepared to do all it can to further this goal; and a single conservation body owner, fully supportive of the community’s marine environment endeavours, in The National Trust for Scotland. These are compelling arguments in favour of early introduction of a set of measures which provide long-term protection and sustainable management of all aspects of this area of outstanding environmental and cultural interest and significance.
