Salmon Watch Ireland & the plans against salmon farming in Ireland in 2025
Manage episode 469965755 series 2887464
Spring is in the air and it feels like the season is finally starting to click into gear and for many salmon anglers you’ll be thinking of trips to book and plans to make.
But one of the big issues affecting wild salmon and sea trout numbers is the presence of salmon farms in some of the most pristine locations around our Atlantic coast.
The issue of salmon farming is something we continually cover on this podcast and for this week’s episode we catch up with John Murphy from Salmon Watch Ireland to find out about updated legislation that means salmon farms are having to renew their licences.
This also means it’s a time for action and opposition to these renewal applications and John Murphy tells us what can be done to counter the increasing threat of salmon farms to the environment and our wild fish.
