King Shags threatened - are you concerned?
Hi neighbours - a revamped mussel farm is opening in the Sounds despite 12 formal objections and concerns from locals about threatened King Shags.
Clearwater Mussels has already been refused two renewed consents after concerns the farm would affect King Shags, and the farms were closed. Despite this, the company's application to operate a reconfigured, existing three-hectare mussel farm was granted earlier this month.
What are your thoughts about this? Do you think more importance should be put on protecting the King Shags?
