Whole marine habitats could be wiped out due to dredging companies dumping or pumping out atomised silt and letting the tide disperse it all over MCZ's.Proof has been seen by local inshore fisherman with no lobsters now being caught in pots.Marine conservation authorities do nothing about it.
Clear mud plooms can be seen from the cliff top with thick black mud being washed up on the rocks/beach.Lobster pots and fixed nets can be covered in the mud.Sea Horses have disappeared or have died.
