FISH FARMINg - WHO SPEAKS FOR THE LOBSTER?
Nova Scotia promotes, approves and regulates open net pen fish farms in our coastal waters. These are large cages out in the ocean which contain thousands and thousands of fish in close quarters. The trend in the rest of the Western world is to use on land closed containment finfish farms, which are less damaging and far more sustainable in all respects.
What impact does this increasingly discredited business model have upon the 3 billion dollar Atlantic lobster sector and the Nova Scotia economy as a whole?
STEWART LAMONT is the Managing Director of Tangier Lobster Company and believes the lobster sector is of importance to all Nova Scotians, and the serious risk which open net pens represent.
