Protestors opposed to plans by 'Organic' Sea Harvest (controlled by Villa Seafood via Norway's Villa Seafood Group & 2400074 Ontario Inc – Canadian company DOM International owned by Domenic Porporo/Proporo) to expand yet further on the Isle of Skye will have a chance to be heard later this month at a meeting of Highland Council (21 January 2020).
A petition has been signed by over 2,700 people objecting to 'Organic' Sea Harvest's expansion plans.
Even the local fairies at Flodigarry don't believe in 'Organic' Sea Harvest's far-fetched fishy tale.

If Alister Mackinnon, who has a colossal conflict of interest as both a director of Organic Sea Harvest and member of Highland Council, is truly open, honest and transparent then he will no doubt be fully briefing his fellow members of Highland Council (which include another director of Organic Sea Harvest, Alex MacInnes) on how 'Organic' Sea Harvest is controlled by Norwegian and Canadian interests via Villa Seafood UK (controlled via Norway's Villa Seafood Group & 2400074 Ontario Inc – Canadian company Dom International owned by Domenic Porporo/Proporo).

Undercurrent News reported in October 2019:
If 'Organic' Sea Harvest do produce 10,000 tonnes of "organic" farmed salmon then it would more than treble Scottish production of "organic" farmed salmon. The latest Scottish Government annual fish farm production survey for 2018 published in September 2019 reports (p33):
With only five salmon farms producing 4,219 tonnes of "organic" farmed salmon in 2018 the average farm size is less than 1,000 tonnes. How 'Organic' Sea Harvest thinks it will produce 2,500 tonnes of "organic" farmed salmon from each site beggars belief. The Observer reported in 2006:

BBC Newsnight also lambasted 'organic' salmon back in 2006.
