Around Port Mouton Bay | Aerial Photos - Boat Rally | Boats in the Bay | Port Mouton Island | Lobster Fishery
On July 10, 2009, Friends of Port Mouton Bay held a boat rally where 18 fishing boats from the Bay marked the boundaries of the Port Mouton Island fish farm. To record the event, Linda Ross took to the air taking aerial pictures of the rally, and the entire Bay with its many white sand beaches and islands. These stunning pictures confirm what we all know so well - that the Bay is simply a spectacular place!
The aerials also highlight the fact that the moratorium does not effect the existing fish farm. Its license to operate was renewed renewalin March 2010. There is more work to be done. Read about Where We Are Now >
