UNSUSTAINABLE

LLS intends to establish the largest salmon farm in Scotland, with a massive capacity of 8000 tonnes of salmon. This industrial-scale development would have severe consequences for the environment, local communities, and wildlife. We cannot afford to let profit-driven ventures endanger our natural heritage.

z

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

The proposed onshore and offshore facilities would bring a range of potential risks to Loch Linnhe. These include contamination from excrement and waste feed, harmful algal blooms, and the release of hazardous materials. The fragile marine life, including otters, grey seals, and wild salmon, is under direct threat from these developments.

c

COMMUNITY IMPACT

While there may be promises of job creation and community benefits, the long-term impact on our local economy and way of life needs careful consideration. The visual pollution, noise, smell, constant heavy vehicle movement, and potential damage to tourism and recreational activities would have far reaching negative consequences.
