Maine's land-based salmon farmer Nordic Aquafarms loses more land leases critical to building its facility

Nordic Aquafarms' proposed 33,000 metric ton recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) salmon farm in Maine remains on life support, after losing another lease critical to the farm's completion.

On Sept. 7, the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands (BPL) rescinded Nordic Aquafarms' submerged lands and dredging leases, which are needed to construct the farm's outflow pipes.
