Kelly Cove Salmon, the Atlantic Canadian salmon farming division of Cooke Aquaculture, is applying for a lease boundary expansion in Nova Scotia that the Mi'kmaq of Eastern Canada say impacts its "constitutionally protected fishing rights."
Earlier this week, the newly-created Nova Scotia Aquaculture Review Board held its first hearing on the application, which would extend a site located in Annapolis Basin at Rattling Beach in Digby County.
In its application, Kelly Cove stated it is requesting a boundary change for a single farm, and that it has no plans to increase production at its Rattling bay site.
