Does Bakkafrost & salvage company @BonnMees have a licence to dump a toxic @GaelForceGroup barge in Loch Reraig (close to Loch Carron MPA)? How much of the 690 tons of "contaminated water & feed" are left on board? @nature_scot @ScottishEPA @scotgov @_KateForbes @ScotlandSalmon https://t.co/O1SGGTK8yt pic.twitter.com/dQ7JWcpGpS
