Mr Tony
Brown
I am grateful for
the opportunity to give my personal views on the newly formed
Natural Resources Wales /Cythoeth Naturiol Cymru.
I am no
scholar so bear with me with my mistakes.
I would like
to bring the following points to view regarding the rivers i fish
Seiont Gwyrai llyfni
- The recent hatchery review and
decision to stop all stocking of salmon and sea trout in all rivers
in wales and to offer different form of mitigation this cannot
bring back what is not there
- Seiont suffered badly with
pollution up to the present date green blue algae and
sewage
- Hydro power scheme at the top
lake which destroyed vast areas of spawning beds introduction of
2km tunnel to divert fish to top waters
- Further hydro power scheme
intended in Glyn rhonwy where abstraction of water from Padarn lake
site of sssi and endangered stocks of charr this is now under
planning with CNC/NRW for environmental license
- Sewage treatment works which
are placed along the river and discharge into system
- Poaching on increase
enforcement officers trying their best but only 7 now in northern
district when years ago there were 6 locally, more enforcement
officers needed
- Gwyrfai dam at cwellyn
hindrance to fish also work carried out at Nant mill falls needs
addressing
- Llyfni continuous dredging of
bottom pool without discussion of owners sewage problems that need
addressing also silt from near by quarry
- 0800 807060 number totally
useless time wasted trying to inform operators of location better
scheme needs to be introduced
This is my own
personal views as a member of the public not as a member of any
fishing organisation although many anglers or public persons
might share these views
