Angling Trust Concern over Private Severn Estuary Barrage
The Angling Trust is warning that a privately funded barrage across the Severn Estuary could destroy some local freshwater and marine fish populations and have a massive impact on angling nationally.
Corlan Hafren, a private consortium, has made a new proposal to generate electricity from a barrage. Last year, after a two-year feasibility study, the Government rejected a range of publicly-funded proposals. The Angling Trust is joining WWF and the RSPB in voicing concern about the environmental damage that the new proposal could cause.
