LAUNCH OF SAVE THE SWILLY WEBSITE
This week Save The Swilly launches a new website to highlight its ongoing battle to halt further aquaculture development in Lough Swilly until an independent environmental impact assessment has been carried out to determine exactly what the overall implications of aquaculture on the lough will be. Save The Swilly believes the results of this assessment should be made available to everyone.
The website gives concerned individuals an opportunity to electronically sign a petition in support of the aspirations of the Save the Swilly campaign launched in January 2001. It features photos and maps of Lough Swilly showing its beauty and the extent of proposed aquaculture development.
Also featured on the website is a section entitled "They said it" which gives the viewer an insight into the effects of aquaculture on the environment and contradictions in government's approach to the industry.
