	The Filter^: Cockle Rights and Wrongs
		I think that the difference between cockles, strawberries and indeed the oysters that you use as an example, is that in the case of these particular oysters and the PYO strawberry, these are not the species naturally found in the environments in which they are being harvested.
		Natural cockle farming can have dire consequences upon the natural environment, as was proved in the Dee Estuary in 2001 when the population of cockles was depleted to record levels having a knock-on effect upon the wading-bird population.
		The conservational argument I would have thought, would tend to be in favour of creating artificial cockle beds, as is suggested in the private oyster bed article, Stillman suggests that this tends to create more food for native wading birds as they are able to feed on the detritus of poor quality shellfish.
