form a West Cork Sustainable Fisheries Group, with the intention of
demonstrating and exploring the potential of sustainable fishing
activities in west Cork. The following have agreed to serve on a
committee to further this project:- Con Minihane, Dr Sam Shephard, Dan
Jeffries, Tony O'Mahoney, Matt Mills (Sustain West Cork), Ed Harper,
Nigel Towse and Joe Aston. Patrick Treacy of the Cork Environmental
Forum has offered his support.
Feasibility studies for sail and fuel cell powered fishing boats,
along with other alternatives to oil-dependence, and also the
marketing of hand-line caught fish, will be on the new group's agenda.
