US land-based salmon farmer Whole Oceans said it is moving forward with its recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) Atlantic salmon production facility on the site of the former Verso Paper Mill in Bucksport, Maine.
The firm has reached a deal with a Maine construction company to begin site cleanup, grading and other work on a portion of the property known as Lot 2 that has been approved by state and local officials.
Work will prepare the site for the next phases of the project's development.
