Aquaculture Mildred Skinner of Harbour Breton advised - TopicsExpress



          

Aquaculture Mildred Skinner of Harbour Breton advised Council members that expansion in aquaculture is becoming a serious problem in that area. There are currently 81 aquaculture sits on the south coast, with plans for eight more. Skinner said harvesters are not in favour of this expansion because of problems with sea lice, pesticide use, rising water temperatures, too many fish in sites, debris, pollution and the impact on wild salmon stocks. She sad there’s a lot of concern among harvesters that customers will not want to buy lobster from areas with heavy aquaculture development. Council adopted a resolution calling on the provincial government to cease further expansion of aquaculture on the south coast pending an assessment of the impact of development to date.
