(Following dates back to Spring 2010)
Marine Harvest/Silver King Seafoods have carried out a scoping study.
They had hoped to install salmon farm cages in the pristine waters of Dunmanus Bay,
a productive inlet that has supported fishermen and their families for generations.
The entire Dunmanus Community are unanimous in their rejection of the idea.
Marine Harvest/Silver King Seafoods must go away and think again.

on proposed aquaculture sites in existing unspoilt locations
Dunmanus Bay Marine Association was formed in 1995
to protect the pristine waters of Dunmanus Bay from the threat of aquaculture.
The committee, made up of members of the local community, includes representatives of fishermen,
farmers, tourism interests, divers, sea anglers, whale watchers, community groups and holiday home owners.
Because the new threat of salmon farming is more serious, the Association is in process of becoming a registered company,
limited by guarantee and with charitable status. The objectives have been widened to focus on job creation for the Dunmanus Bay region
through sustainable tourism and promotion of the Bay as the last unspoiled Bay in South West Ireland.
