Nine years ago, we started the resource consent and consultation process for its Blue Endeavour open ocean salmon farm.
Today, we are celebrating achieving final Government approval to proceed with an aquaculture project that will be a New Zealand-first – and a world-first in farming the King Salmon species in the open ocean.
Carl Carrington, NZKS Chief Executive Officer describes the process to gain resource consent, Fisheries New Zealand approval and to find common ground with iwi, eNGOs, and the community as being ‘very robust.’
Carl describes the next steps, having achieved this milestone, as ‘needing to walk before we can run.’
