MOWI - Polluters Par Excellence.

What a company! Having just lost 50,000 diseased and disfigured salmon from Norwegian or Icelandic brood stock into the rivers up and down the west coast, they want to put a "mega farm" in Kilbrannan sound - a marine water body that separates the Kintyre Peninsula from the island of Arran.

MOWI are serving us up a recipe for MORE disaster.

Here, thanks to Corin Smith at issf.org.uk are some helpful news links for your delectation.
