There was a similar idea being promoted some years ago called Oceanic
Forestry [yes really], which was supposed to work better on the
windier western parts of the country. From memory the main proponent
was a Major Dennis Moore, who always reminded me of a Monty Python
sketch.
The Royal Forestry Society(EWNI) published a paper on the subject with an
attractive blue cover. The rationale is exactly as Andrew Heggie describes.
Hopefully these days high density sitka on soggy gleys with conservation
value is not the first option...
