Since its March 20, 2018 public presentation, Whole Oceans LLC has rather sailed through a six month journey from application to state permit approval on November 22, 2018.
This was followed by a 12/17/18 appeal of Whole Oceans permit by bay citizen Holly Faubel . The administrative appeal was dismissed January 17, 2019 by Maine Board of Environmental Protection based on the state's questionable challenging of her legal standing - not on the risk identified by Faubel of boosted methylmercury production, and its circulation into the western bay - her neighborhood - - thanks to boosted & concentrated salmon manure production at that critical Bucksport location. See Faubel's References & data pages There, a remnant elemental mercury pool is pushed to and fro by tide and current - and reacts with nutrients such as the RAS salmon excrete by methylizing with it into much more neurotoxic methylmercury .
