"Caution on dredging" call from the National Trust

From a recent South Wales Evening Post Article
The National Trust is calling for caution over the issue of further dredging off the Gower coast.
The Assembly will soon announce its decision on whether further dredging should be permitted.
Ruth Williams, National Trust Wales policy manager, called on the assembly not to let the dredging go ahead.
She said "We urge the Assembly to exercise caution here and look after the beautiful Gower coast, not only for the million or more people who visit Gower every year and the businesses that depend on them, but also for the sake of the outstanding landscape, wildlife and archaeology of the area."
"The Assembly should have faith in its stated policy to move dredging offshore into the deeper waters of the Bristol Channel."
"The National Trust looks after 26 miles of the coastline of Gower and we want to ensure it can be enjoyed by future generations." She added.
