RE: Inactive marble quarries as potential biodiversity hotspots!
I wa going to ask about the fishing in the quarries, but with the Pumpkinseed, that would be good fishing! Do people swim in the quarries? Your third image makes them look perfect for swimming!
Fishing in quarries is not usual, although someone introduced fish brought from dams. I've seen some huge ones.
When I was a kid, my friends and I went swimming many times, but it is extremely dangerous because there are many pointed stones and other materials that have never been removed, such as irons and cables, where you can get stuck. Besides being quite deep. Some of them have more than 20 meters deep. So swimming is not advisable.
I can appreciate the hazards from the cables and iron structures, for sure! It's nice that the quarries are becoming good habitat for wildlife, at least!
