No evidence of farm impact

In response to David Stewart of Appin, I have not missed the point.

I don’t live near any salmon farm but I, like all my colleagues in the aquaculture industry, care deeply about the marine environment. After all, their livelihoods depend on the environment being maintained in the best possible condition as salmon are extremely intolerant of poor quality.

Loch Creran was designated as a MPA first in 2005 and under a different designation in 2014, however the farm there has been operating since 1988 and there is no evidence that it has had any impact on the reef in all that time.
