Re: 'New' fish farm in the Sound

Finally, I understand there is/was a ban on harvesting and selling shellfish from Seil Sound/Loch Melfort.......Is it still in force?
Any info on this would be appreciated.

Re: 'New' fish farm in the Sound

I can remember, maybe 2 years ago, rowing across balvicar bay and seeing cormorants sitting on most of the vacant buoys. Nowadays, you rarely see this. Any thoughts on why? Pollution or global warming must be two major suspects. If pollution is a problem in Balvicar, then a bigger fish farm won't he...

Re: 'New' fish farm in the Sound

Hi If only to keep the rat-race losers away, I'm all for fish farms on the West Coast!!! Probably the most pointless comment so far, on so many levels!

Re: 'New' fish farm in the Sound

Hi It seems to me that for the sake of providing a very few jobs, possibly not to locals, that many other local businesses will suffer. It all depends on the impact which some say will be catastrophic. I have friends who dive, they will go elsewhere if the seabed is significantly ruined. I have othe...
