Irelanda year ago Thanks Mick. Sally is an inspiration with her passion for nature and good food. Her message on the threats to wild salmon and marine ecosystems is so important. The Salmon has been important in our history and mythology but we treat them with disdain. From damming our rivers to destroying their breeding beds and trying to replace them with battery farmed frankenfish. The wild salmon is close to gone from our waters.
Thanks to both of you for a very informative and enjoyable podcast.
