We hear of difficulties in the co-existence of agriculture and angling, as well as other activities. Dr. Beamish said that when the comprehensive studies that are ongoing are completed, the data collected will allow for all sorts of activities. Would he consider it as part of the planning process for any or all activities that would take place in those designated bays? Would that include the potential impact of aquaculture on inshore or even freshwater fishing? Some freshwater anglers will say a salmon farm in the inlet where they fish could be affected as well. Does it take that into account?
