(Editor's note: The following letter was sent by Sara Crapuchettes to IntraFish, through LinkedIn, in response to our commentary: Is Alaska salmon farming such a wild idea?)
Why would Alaskans risk losing their pristine oceans and fisheries to the filth of farmed fish? No it's not time and it's never going to be time for farmed salting (sic) in Alaska.
Alaska's own constitution bans finfish farming here in our state, and the federal government would surely have a fight on their hands if they placed fish farms in any available federal water.
