the work these people do is important across many, many fields... the work carried out helps to understand where humans may have got it wrong. again.

the facility is hugely important for marine mammal conservation, it would be tragic to see it's closure. The work carried out at by SMASS supports my work and proves hugely beneficial in community engagement and raising awareness of the threats facing the oceans and it's inhabitants.

This is a vital facility for crofters and its closure would be a serious blow to crofting in the Highlands and Islands.

This facility is not only of great significance to the farming community, but is also crucial in monitoring wildlife diseases, especially for marine mammals.

A vital service to serve the large Highlands, where farming and animals still play a huge part in people's daily lives. We have abundant wildlife and marine life, which attracts tourists from all over the world, DO NOT close this facility!

Closing this facility will be a great loss to crofters and farmers in the Highlands. The lab really should be kept open!
