Welsh cockle fishing, Maize and soil quality
Is UK soil being ruined by the growing of maize? And why are the cockles in South Wales dying prematurely while the beds in the River Dee have been closed to fishing this year?
Why are the cockle fishermen in Wales facing an unprofitable year this season? There are unexplained issues surrounding early deaths of cockles in South Wales, whilst on the River Dee, over-fishing and illegal fishing have forced the closure of the beds there. Also how does the growing of maize impact on our soil? We look at the arguments for and against this controversial crop. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Trish Campbell.
