Default Campaign Against Broad Bay Fishfarm

As mentioned previously, Lighthouse Caledonia want to establish a fish farm in Broad Bay, an area currently free of fish farming activity. The proposed site is in an area that is now a tremendous sea trout fishery where locals and visitors catch hundreds of sea trout, and a significant number of salmon, each season.
An internet campaign has been started in an effort to stop the proposed fish farm. Please check out the following site and take the time to sign the petition-

Thanks RF

Here's a direct link to the petition against the proposed farm in Broad Bay:

A good way for concerned anglers to "do their bit" for salmon and sea trout conservation
