As requested, Maine suspends Nordic Aquafarms' land-based permits

Earlier this year, Nordic Aquafarms asked the state to suspend permits the company was granted three years ago for its 33,000 metric ton recirculating aquaculture system project.

"This pause will allow the courts to fully adjudicate the issues raised by project opponents without allowing the delay caused by the endless litigation to run the clock on the permits," said Nordic Aquafarms CEO Brenda Chandler in April.
