Bloom causes ‘ecological disaster’
The bloom has killed large numbers of cockles, mussels, clams, some flat fish, conger eels and mullet, but oysters and lobster have, so far, escaped, according to Kevin Flannery, who works with the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources.
“This is a virtual ecological disaster in the worst affected area along the upper parts of Dingle Bay from Minard across to Kells, including Castlemaine Harbour and beaches such as Inch and Rossbeigh.
