    The environmental impacts of marine fish farming are well understood. Scientifically, the answer to whether or not there should be fish farming within the closed, unique, and fragile ecosystem of the limno-thalassa is clear... there should NOT be fish farms in the bay of Argostoli. For once, Kefalonites at home and abroad would be proud to see the government take action against short-term business interests and in favor of long-term collective Kefalonian interests (συλλογικο συμφερον) that are supported by logic, science and long-term sustainability (περιβαλλοντικη και τουριστικη βιωσιμοτητα). Let's do the right thing... the self-evident. No more fish farms in the bay of Argostoli! Here are the key facts, from the extensive article of Wikipedia which includes scientific citations. // Mariculture is a specialized branch of aquaculture involving the cultivation of marine organisms for food and other products in the open ocean, an enclosed section of the ocean, or in tanks, ponds or raceways which are filled with seawater. Commonly identified environmental impacts from marine farms are: 1-Wastes from cage cultures; 2-Farm escapees and invasives; 3-Genetic pollution and disease and parasite transfer; 4-Habitat modification.
