Aquaculture applications - Rossbeigh/Dooks

 

5 steps to structure your objections

1. Add the application reference number (should look something like T6/4**, see list below)

2. Add your name, address, and contact info

3. Address it to the aquaculture review officers: Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine

4. Add the grounds to your objection, in your own words. Here are some grounds you can use for why you object:

    • Personal grounds: How will this intensive aquaculture development impact you? (house prices, your use of the recreational facilities of the area like the beach, watersports, health walks)
    • Environmental grounds: this area is a Special Area of Conservation, a RAMSAR site, and a Special Protection Area for wildlife and flora.
    • Economic grounds: Do you work in tourism? Will your livelihood be affected if tourists are no longer coming to Glenbeigh/Dooks because the visual beauty of the area has been ruined?
    • Legislative grounds: Have you spotted a fault with the application? Do you object to the Department pushing through applications without an Environmental Impact Assessment?

5. Send your application no later than July 2, 2018!

 

Do you have more time? Object to the other applications in Castlemaine Harbour or the Shannon Estuary in Kerry
