On February 28, 2019, the Maine Legislature's Agriculture Conservation & Forestry Committee heard testimony on LD 620 "An Act Regarding Licensing of Land-based Aquaculture Facilities".
Here are recordings of five opponents of the bill who testified that day. They vary in tone and factuality.
Rep Richard Campbell, Bucksport & surrounding towns 7min
Marianne Naess,Commercial Director Nordic Aqua Farms. 3min30sec
Dierdre Gilbert DMR 7min 30sec
Sebastian Belle Maine Aquaculture Assn
Thomas Kittredge Belfast Economic Devel Dir & QA 4min19sec
LD 620 will require second and additional applicants for land based aquafarms within a single estuary to prove they will not, in combination with existing landbased salmon farms already discharging into it, jointly boost the amount of effluent biochemicals entering those estuarine waters to unacceptable levels. This is not currently a mandate within statute.
