The development of large-scale fish farms along the Maine coast took big steps forward in 2022, but it will likely be several years before any of the planned projects are completed.

Do you support proposals to develop large-scale fish farms in Maine?
That doesn’t worry the fish farmers, as several said there isn’t a rush to be the first operating in Maine. In fact, most want others to succeed and do so responsibly. None could ever fill the public’s demand for seafood alone, but one misstep by any of them could create headaches for all of them.
