Recorded in 2013. The Common Skate tagging program that has done so much to bring the Scottish population back from near collapse is taken for granted these days. But back in the early 1970's when the species received no help or protection, even from anglers, it was a very different matter. Here Dr. Dietrich Burkel talks about how he helped set the program up, then reflects on its success over the intervening 40 years with SSACN now firmly in control of the project.
