Fishery groups are calling for an investigation into alleged pollution of the Waterford Estuary.
Fishermen say they have noticed a significant decrease in shellfish and mussels, and the disappearance of seaweed in some parts.
Alex Crowley, the General Secretary of the National Inshore Fishermen’s Association (NIFA), said that it has been contacted by local fishermen about the estuary.
NIFA general secretary Alex Crowley says that the Waterford estuary supports important inshore fisheries for shrimp, whelk, lobster, velvet and green crab, and there is also pelagic trawling for sprat and herring and dredging for various bivalve species.
