The Argyll District Salmon Fishery Board recently submitted a response to the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee regarding salmon farming in Scotland.
The Argyll District Salmon Fishery Board are one of the many organisations supporting Salmon and Trout Conservation Scotland who are calling for an immediate moratorium on any new open cage marine salmon farms in Scotland or any expansion of existing sites.
The call is supported by a wide cross section of 27 environmental NGOs and other bodies including Friends of the Sound of Jura which last month gave compelling evidence at the ongoing Scottish parliament’s inquiry into the environmental impacts of salmon farming.
