Thank you for that response, but, although I welcome any efforts to try and establish the cause of cockle mortality in the area, you will be aware that the local cockle pickers and processors on Gower have declared that they have lost confidence in NRW to get to the root of the problem. The saga, as you know—certainly, we’re aware of this on the Gower peninsula—has dragged on for many years now, and we need solutions for this ancient, traditional industry. They didn’t get the necessary answers in a study conducted in 2012. Why should they have more confidence this time?
