Just had a phone call from Alan Barnes who works for a daily newspaper and sub-edits for Coarse Fisherman magazine.
He was fishing the confluence of the Ribble and Darwen yesterday at midday when a seal popped its head up in his swim. This was witnessed by other people as well as Alan. He reported it to the EA who told him they didn't have the resources to deal with it.
Also yesterday, the Darwen, in the area he fished,was covered from one bank to another with bio diesel discharge (apparently 129 companies now have a licence to discharge bio diesel into the Ribble). This was also reported to the EA and the discharge was still coming down the river two hours later.
