Fish farming methods have improved dramatically over the last 40 years but there is still room for improvement, we could learn a great deal from the Chinese in these matters and the introduction of polyculture would “soak-up” many pollutants.

What must occur is true “openness” within the industry and willingness to adapt to the needs of other commercial industries. With careful planning there is enough room in both Argyll and Scotland to co-exist, without conflict.

It is a shame that Eric the Viking can’t put his/her name to their comment but if they know anything about the marine environment/commercial pressures please go the presentation it will make for a better informed and balanced evening: then we can comment knowledgably.

“It is apparent from the evidence that, although Mr. Staniford’s purported motive was to serve the public interest by educating the public regarding the impacts of salmon farming on public health and the environment, he did not give a balanced or complete view, either in the press release or in his subsequent interviews. His real motive was to build opposition to salmon farming. … Mr. Staniford’s concern when he published the press releases, and during subsequent interviews, was not whether the allegations were true or whether the public interest was served. Rather, he used intentionally inflammatory words and withheld facts in order to achieve his goal of increasing opposition to salmon farming.”
