Kingfish Company CEO on Maine moratorium: No 'actual legal or environmental justification' to deny land-based farming facility

It is unclear how, or if, a proposed moratorium being voted on tonight in the town of Jonesport, Maine, will impact the company's project, which is in the final approval phase.

Ohad Maiman, CEO of The Kingfish Company, says a proposed land-based aquaculture project in a small Maine community has no actual legal hurdles to becoming a reality. — Ohad Maiman, CEO of The Kingfish Company, says a proposed land-based aquaculture project in a small Maine community has no actual legal hurdles to becoming a reality.Photo: John Fiorillo, IntraFish
