Yes, exactly the same phenomenon has devastated salmon and particularly
sea-trout (known here as white trout) all along the west coast of
irleland. The irish have turned in one generation from being dreamy
rural poets to some of the most viciously greedy (and, incidentally,
quite racist) nations in Europe, and in my lifetime they have managed
to cause horrendous damage through unchecked building to one of the
most beautiful parts of the world, plunder the Atlantic with drift-nets
for salmon, and pollute their own waters.

I'm allowed to say this, as I'm an Irish citizen!
