The world’s largest mermaid’s purse – a flapper skate eggcase, found in the Sound of Jura.
AT THE first public meeting of the Friends of the Sound of Jura, held in Tayvallich on July 16, underwater photographer Mark Woombs and wildlife filmmaker John Aitchison spoke on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to a capacity audience, some of whom had come across from Jura.
The group was formed to object to a proposed 2,500-tonne salmon or rainbow trout farm at Dounie and believes the Sound of Jura is not a suitable place for fish farming.
