Done properly there should not be much effect on the environment.
The amount of fishing done is not enough to grow the economy in the East End. It is not expanding, is not creating jobs for an expanding population. The days of the little fishing village are dying.
The East End already has destroyed much of its so called pristine environment with derelict cars leaking highly toxic transmission fluid into the ground and whatever water under it.
Tourism provides low paying jobs with little or no benefits or security.
The Oban project, if done properly would go a long way to stabilizing the East End economy.

Agreed. In other countries business is proactive. This WTO stuff has been going on since 2000. Business can check the WTO website.

They pay well and take care of their staff. Look at what they did for the staff after Hurricane Matthew.
They have been a mainstay of the Port Area economy. A consistent employer.
