28/3/2024 Breaking News, To anglers from around the World, Please put your objections in and Save our Salmon and Sea Trout heritage.
Hello again,
MOWI have now applied to renew another Salmon Farm license this time at Inishfarnard which is on the southern side of Kenmare Bay. This also needs to be strenuously opposed as it also is damaging the salmon and sea trout stocks in all the rivers in the vicinity. There was a large number of objections to the application at Deenish. Please forward your objections to [email protected] quoting reference T05 / 233 before April 9th
Kind regards
Michael and Kevin.
