Written testimony for LD 620 An Act Regarding Licensing of Land-based Aquaculture Facilities.

On Feb 28th LD 620 "An Act Regarding Licensing of Land-based Aquaculture Facilities" had its public hearing before the legislature's Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee (ACF) Below are 18 comments received in support and 4 in opposition to the bill.

LD 620 amends the one page state law on land-based aquaculture. It requires the agency to factor in the wastes exiting from existing land based fish farms, when licensing another in the same waterbody. Ditto when deciding whether to revoke a license of an existing land based salmon farm. Supporters say it will prevent the problems that occured
