The Waternish Wildlife Alliance is a community group based on Waternish trying to sustain and restore Waternish’s unique biodiversity. We are extremely lucky to have a centuries-old, 6-hectare maerl bed, a vital blue carbon sink and sadly a ‘declining and threatened’ habitat. SSEN plans to lay a cable which could destroy the maerl bed. We have started a petition to try and save the precious maerl by asking SSEN to use one of the eight alternative routes into Waternish instead.
