Falkland Islanders call for referendum on plans for massive salmon farm

“It is then the people who will get to decide what happens in their own country,” said Sally Poncet, of SFF. She says she has lost confidence in the consultation process, which began on 7 August and will run until 30 October.

Reports commissioned by the Falklands government as part of the consultation are based on unverifiable data provided by Unity Marine, Poncet claimed. There is “insufficient information” on the impact that the industry would have on the islands, she said.

Never ceases to surprise me the extent to which "Elmo" has a luxury condo in the minds of so many pro-salmon people. They hang on her every word and can't stop talking about her and what she says.
