Troubled Waters

Описание: The horrific escape, as a result of Storm Amy, of tens of thousands of farmed salmon from a Loch Linnhe farm, served as an appalling reminder that the semi closed containment technology proposed for the 8000tonne development at Lurignish would be an even greater disaster waiting to happen. Not only do the solid sides make the cages even more vulnerable to the effects of such a storm, but the vast numbers of fish - up to a million proposed for each cage - would mean that escape numbers could be catastrophic.
The potential for such a disaster was predicted by Andy Corbe last year, when he was interviewed for a documentary campaign film we are commissioning from filmmaker and environmentalist, James Appleton. Andy regularly kayaks along that stretch of coastline and knows the currents and wind directions better than anyone.
Meanwhile Davy Gunn, born and bred on the loch and with a life spent on its associated rivers and glens, is absolutely passionate about protecting our fragile Wild Salmon population.
Both Andy and Davy feature in this short, extremely powerful film by James Appleton.
