© 2006 Filey Against Dredging
24 December 2008
The environmental group Filey Against Dredging (“FAD”) was formed in 1990, in response to an application made by ARC Marine to dredge 20 million tonnes of sand and gravel from Filey Bay, on the North Yorkshire coast.
Following massive public and local council support, FAD commissioned an extensive Environmental Study of Filey Bay. In the light of this evidence the Dredging application was retracted.
FAD still keeps a watchful eye on any developments which might threaten the beautiful Marine Environment of Filey Bay
The 34 page Filey Bay Environmental Statement, was prepared in 1991 and still remains the main work on all aspects of the Filey Bay Marine Environment
A Full copy of the statement can be obtained as an Adobe reader file at the link below.
The file is 1.2 megabytes in size.
Radical draft legislation for Marine Dredging was proposed in 2006.
