This latest  podcast shows the dangerous confusion caused by launching Chinese Lanterns, because they look very similar to Emergency Flares used by mariners.   They also cause serious problems for farmers, with animals ingesting the wire frames of the lanterns when they fall on to farmland.

MCA is campaigning for Chinese Lanterns to be prohibited near the coast, and the National Farmers Union is campaigning to have the launching of Chinese Lanterns prevented over farm land.

Viewing figures show that MCA Podcasts reach a growing audience worldwide, especially among the maritime community, with a cost per view falling below 90 pence including production costs, making for great ROI.
