Residents of Loch Reraig, near Kishorn in the north-west Highlands, have demanded answers after they observed a trail of destruction along the seabed
A serene Highland bay has been left a “death zone” by a sunken fish farm barge, furious locals have claimed.
But they were distraught after later discovering the shoreline at low tide littered with “thousands” of dead razor clams, clams, seaworms and other marine life. “But what’s most distressing is that, both where the barge was sitting and all around it, there are thousands of dead clams and dead razor clams - literally awash with them - which have been killed.Mr Troup added: “Usually, we might see a few of them, two or three, on this pristine, sandy beach when the tide goes out - and we obviously see a few dead ones because they’re creatures, they live and they die.
The fish feed container sank at a farm owned by the Faroese firm in Portree, Skye, during Storm Arwen in 2021.
