Boycott Scottish Salmon - the mortality rate for Scottish salmon farms is over 20% with ca. 15 million fish dying each year on disease-ridden feedlots - it's enough to make you vomit not buy it! https://t.co/IT3ETtFVst @salmon_scottish @SSPOsays @Try_Lochlander @coopuk

Scottish Salmon Watch recently spent a week on the trail of 'Scottish Scamon' - here's some videos from our travels on the West coast of Scotland.

When filming at salmon farms it is vitally important to follow adhere to a biosecurity protocol including the disinfecting of equipment.
Safety is of paramount importance and it is therefore important to be safe on the water and venture out only if the weather conditions are suitable (on the West coast of Scotland it is often too windy to kayak out and you may need boat support!).
Salmon farms operate in public waters and the public have a right to navigate in a kayak as well as swim and dive.
But beware - Scottish salmon is a disease-ridden nightmare!
Due diligence and in-depth research is required before taking the plunge on Scottish salmon!
Night-filming is sometimes necessary to shine a light on the dark side of Scottish salmon farming:
Early mornings are a must when it comes to catching the scoop on Scottish salmon.
But you can also catch a whiff of Scottish salmon in the city.
And follow your nose to find damning evidence dumped in skips.
As salmon farmers pollute with impunity, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is closed to the public.
And public beaches are closed to the public as salmon farmers continue to work without any regard for community access and resource use.
Watch this space for further filming over the Summer and Autumn at 'Scottish Scamon'.
