Staff diligence, technology preserve salmon farms from storm damage

Diligent staff and modern technology helped Irish salmon farms emerge relatively unscathed from the recent coastal storms, the Irish Salmon Growers’ Association has stated.

The ISGA reports that no significant damage was caused to any of the 15 marine salmon farming sites from Donegal to west Cork during this stormy period.

ISGA executive, Richie Flynn, said: “While unprecedented damage was caused to coastal infrastructure, salmon farms stood up extremely well to the constant storm challenge.”
