Shebeen Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 that's quite funny. the STOP pe fishfarm has a YIELD sign as their logo. http://www.stoppefishfarm.co.za/assets/logo.png
Rocket-Boy Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I doubt it will make a difference but signed anyway.Im sure the real ecological findings are suppressed because someone will be making good money off of it.
davem Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 That shape is actually used for warning signs. Yield sign has the pointy bit at the bottom. that's quite funny. the STOP pe fishfarm has a YIELD sign as their logo. http://www.stoppefishfarm.co.za/assets/logo.png
Shebeen Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 That shape is actually used for warning signs. Yield sign has the pointy bit at the bottom.ah yes. but its definitely not a STOP sign. nor does it have a NO / through it. incidentally, here is the 50/50 insert on the fish farm. Not really a balanced look imho, as the applicant(government didn't really thro any science into the debate). They got the EAP to comment, but they are impartial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O3SBjbfuyw

droenn Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Marine aquaculture (for fish) is a terrible idea, only really works well for oysters and mussels. Some closed systems work ok, but the waste output of these open water types in the video will destroy the local ecology and reduce it to only a few worms that can survive anaerobically under tonnes of fish ****. I would also suggest the next time you order salmon, tuna or shrimp - check that its also not farmed elsewhere because these industries are destroying the coastlines and rivers of many developing nations in addition to Scandinavian and N. American wild fisheries. Not to mention the social impacts these farms have on local communities and economies, the accumulation of toxins from controlling parasites, and the amount of wild catch of smaller fishes needed to grow fish like salmon and tuna.
Patchelicious Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Just a question, doesnt all farming have a negative impact to our enviroment to some degree? I mean I am pretty sure that the Free State is not naturally covered in meilies?
Imploder Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Ooh! this thread is heading to popcorn territory.....

They're doing Rio Olympics in raw sewerage next year so don't think some fishtanks in the region means it has to be one or the other. edit:so the swim course is about max 300m offshore. not even a 6th of the way toward the closest this place could be. very alarmist http://www.ironman.com/~/media/39ed260339354401ad25f3e1faa03a38/imsa%20swim%20map%202015%20paths%20large%20240px.jpg?w=240&h=118&c=1
