Slipper limpets not permitted to be used as bait or disposed at sea By Press Release - Mar 30, 2015 This article was last updated on March 30th, 2015 Advice on the release of live or fresh slipper limpets (Crepidula fornicata) The MMO is advising all marine users that the release of live or fresh slipper limpets (Crepidula fornicata) into the wild is an offence. The slipper limpet is a marine mollusc and is a non-native species in the UK. They can starve and smother native shellfish and compete for food and space with oysters. Damage to shellfish by slipper limpets can affect the ability of fishermen to sell their catch, particularly oysters mussels and scallops. See information on the slipper limpet on the GB Non-native Species Information Portal (GBNNSIP) The molluscs are already established in South England and South Wales although they are not currently prevalent in the North of England. The release of slipper limpets to the sea is an offence and must be avoided in order to protect shellfish beds that are currently free of this species. This includes the use of live or fresh slipper limpets as an angling bait, or disposal at sea, which may allow the escape of eggs and larvae into the marine environment. Sea users who find slipper limpets should report to the Marine Biological Association. Marine users who are aware of any use or disposal of slipper limpets should report the information to the MMO.

They can usually repitch by a maximum of 2" either way.

Yes, They moved a few years ago. I thought they were the same, but I was wrong.

Hi Martin Welcome to the Club. Sorry to hear about Paul.

Travellers were 2013.

It's not as good as it used to be. As Rob said, taken over by dealers or junk. I did pick up some fishing bit and pieces a couple of years ago, didn't buy anything last year. I prefer Beaulieu, admittance covers the motor museum as well.

Not sure what the specimen size is for a diver

You'll probably catch a diver on the Kyarra, it' a very popular dive site.

Some years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco. Mensa, as you know, is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher. Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local cafe . When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand ? Clearly -- this was a job for Mensa minds. The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally, came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution. "Ma'am," they said," we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker." But before they could finish .......... the waitress interrupted. "Oh -- sorry about that." She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them. There was dead silence at the Mensa table. Reminds me of the government, solutions would be so simple, but the brilliant minds have to make the situation difficult ....

Happy Birthday Dean.

Last night my wife sent me a text, saying she was in casualty. When I got home I watched all 50 minutes of it,..........never saw her once. She still hasn't come home yet. I'm starving.

Congratulations

Happy birthday Andy

Happy birthday Duncan.

Looks a bit risky to me, you've got to remove the pipe, then open the sea cock to insert the bung. Then you have to remove the sea cock and fit a new one, probably one handed while holding the bung in place.

Hi Ian Soon be arranging new membership cards. Can Cerrie produce double sided cards? Regards Brian
