	16/5/2008  THE RISING TIDE - A Review of the Bottom Grown (BG) Mussel Sector on the Island of Ireland "The BG mussel sector, on all parts of the island of Ireland, has undergone many changes over the last ten years. Overall it has been a successful period, characterised by strong market demand for the product and significant inflows of investment both from within the island and from international sources, most notably from the Netherlands. In many ways the sector has been the powerhouse of Irish aquaculture, forging ahead while other types of fish farming have struggled to make progress. It is now a valuable industry generating significant value from an indigenous resource that undoubtedly has scope for further positive development."
