Going to Grafham soon and will have to repeat at both venues Northampton and Grafham, Madness!! Where is the common sense? |

Launching trolley padding is a *very* very good medium for transporting the eggs and pests. My money is on imported fish bait as the source, this damn country really needs some proper biosecurity.
The trouble is you never really know who isn't contaminated, and we now have two different species of invasive shrimp and two of mussels, so keepoing tabs on who can't travel between where would be problematic. However inland to sea and vice versa is OK, a good immersion in sea water should deal with most of the freshwater vermin. Get that trolley right under the waves! |

Could we have an article of the real situation with Killer Shrimp and are we (the dinghy sailing fraternity) really having any impact on the transportation of said vermin. The water birds surly transport the eggs and thousands of bird are different to a few 100 dinghy's?
Would also be nice to know how has the pest and who is clear, surly travelling between contaminated venues would be OK? |
