It appears that the drug runners behind the RIBs that have been appearing in La Herradura bay are doing so with impunity.
The Servicio Marítimo of the Guardia Civil confiscated 80 roe-bearing lobsters in the wharehouse at Motril Port where the day’s catch is auctioned.
Readers will remember that a couple of months back Motril fishermen discovered an invasive species of Asian seaweed in their fishing grounds – now it has appeared off Almuñécar.
The University of Granada has confirmed that the seaweed found off La Rábit is indeed of the Asian variety that is causing problems near Cádiz.
Fishermen came across a strange ‘catch’ in their nets off La Rábita on Wednesday – a mass of seaweed looking like a kind normally found in the Pacific.
