What good news. Hopefully governments are starting to realise that they need to balance views and not do everything that the professional tree huggers demand.

Yes, excellent. Maybe will help decision making in other areas. Wales seems to have some good politicians at present, prepared to stick their necks out and make sensible rulings.

Excellent indeed. The pendulum swings back...finally

Lets hope no wandering Sea Horses sneek into Dale or elsewhere or the diving tagging horsey type will return.

The objection put forward by Milford Haven Port Authority to the proposal for Dale Roads was superbly worded. Ships wait here before proceeding up the water. It pretty much said 'what a daft idea' in PC.

Too late, they ae there already! Seahorse Trust themselves admit the further west you go the more common they are. Studland is near the North eastern limit of their known range.

Here is an interesting article by arch-environmentalist George Monbiot. It doesn't mention the marine environment at all, but I think we can all see the parellels.

Very interesting. The RSPB and their fellow travellers are gradually getting found out. To anyone who hasn't read them I highly recommend "Islands of the West" and "Islands of the North" by Iain Mitchell. Excellent reads about small boat cruising in great areas, but the accounts of the discussions with RSPB etc. are particularly interesting.
