There is another proposed Cooke steelhead farm waiting in the wings in Washington; Does it have a chance?

A permit application for a joint trout farming project between Washington's Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Cooke is still active, but will this week's action to expel Cooke from state waters kill the project?

A permit application with Cooke that would allow the establishment of a netpen salmon farm in Port Angeles, Washington, has not been ruled on yet and is still awaiting state approval, said Ron Allen, chairman and CEO of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe.
