This afternoon at about 2.30 whilst driving along the promenade, I saw a small group of men standing on the pavement close to the Lifeboat Slipway, as if waiting for transport or to be picked up. They had with them a number of largish net sacks which, at a guess, I would say contained mussels.I was not aware that mussel collecting was allowed on North Shore and I would certainly not eat any from there. Does anyone know if such activity is allowed? WWW

I see men putting out quite long nets both near the pier and over at Rhos.
Re the Mussels. I think if anyone has concerns about collecting seafood on an industrial scale they ought to contact the Harbour Master, Matthew Forbes, at Conwy. He will know the answers and who to contact if enforcement is needed.
Found this :THE WELSH MINISTERS GIVE NOTICE THAT, pursuant to Byelaw 13A of the former North Western and North Wales Sea Fisheries Committee1, the mussel (Mytilis edulis) beds in the area defined below (“the Area”) are closed to mussel fishing with effect from 23.59 on 4th September 2013 until 23:59 on 31st August 2014.The map shows the Conwy Estuary but I suppose any other area nearby would also be affected, including Llanduno Bay. ZXZI'll miss my mussels.
