State move on foreshore licences

Traditional seaweed cutters are concerned at Government moves to implement foreshore licensing regulations and at the number of applications made by private companies, reports Ray Ryan.

PEOPLE who traditionally cut and sell seaweed along the sea shore are worried that the practice could be under threat from the licensing regime.

A number of smaller local companies that work in the seaweed industry are also very concerned that they will be squeezed out of the business.
