That's interesting as Dickies of Bangor (opposite shore of Straits) have been reported as selling up to Watkin-Jones Developments ltd who plan to turn Dickies' current yard into a housing development. Dickies are planning to move to Penrhyn Dock. There has been a long running plan to put a marina into the bay between Dickies' current site & Penrhyn Dock but it is a large area of mudflats with a great many waders, ducks etc.

The Mussel fishers "plant" seed mussels in the area and then resow them in the faster flowing channel where they grow to maturity quickly due to vast amounts of food in the tidal sluice. It is almost a farming process.

There is a demand for Marina berths in the area (not from me I hasten to add) as there are waiting lists in most if not all of existing ones. Worth watching this one.
