Dee
Cleats are known to have been in place on sections of the Dee
for the past 20 years or so. These are sharp hooks which are intended
to prevent nets being used to poach fish. They could also serious
damage boats. Their locations are not know (as otherwise the poachers
would be able to avoid them). The SCA are arranging a meeting
with Aberdeenshire council to discuss the matter with a view to
getting them removed. In the mean time watch out!
