Trust me, there are a lot of money sucking Lawyers tied in with the Oyster Fisherman also. They love to claim bla bla, for a damage settlement, with the Oil Companies, if they set up a rig or platform anywhere near some Oyster Grounds/Allotments. Rumor had it that a lot of Oyster Harvesters, made more on settlements, than Oysters.
They certainly did in the initial caernarvon water diversion settlement.
