At least fishermen have the excuse of ignorance. Mike Kaiser, the writer of the Fishing News article is a highly qualified fisheries scientist, who must know most of what he has written in that article is rubbish. He also knows all about the damage done to the sea bed by scallop dredgers, having done some very well known research off Start Point comparing dredged and undredged areas. Despite this he allies himself very closely with the dredging lobby, I am sure he has his reasons.............
