Online petition to Designate tidal River Nairn area As wildlife sanctuary / Haven

A petition has been launched by local swan mannie Joe Telfer and reads:

" Designate River Nairn Area As Wildlife Sanctuary / Haven"

"The Tidal area of the river Nairn is home to over 200 water birds, Mainly Swans and Ducks. They need a safe area free from fishing tackle injuries, dog attacks and disturbance from human water sport activities. People get a huge amount of pleasure from the existence of these birds on the river. They are also a big attraction to the tourists who visit Nairn. "  More here.


The petition will eventually be delivered to Provost Laurie Fraser.
