| Lobster is the principal catch but there's also an
active herring fleet and scallop draggers. Some fishermen go "mossing"
in the summer, gathering Irish Moss seaweed from rocks and shoals to be
processed into carageen for a variety of products. The coastline is littered
with islands, bays, harbours and estuaries that provide safe anchorage
for the fishing fleet and offer exotic destinations for landlubbers. There
are 13 Small Craft Harbours and dozens of other wharves and breakwaters
along the Argyle shore. |
