qwant news | Push to ’supersize’ aquaculture is not right for Maine | Opinion

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

President Trump’s push to “supersize” U.S. aquaculture is touted as a route to seafood independence, yet in Maine the only remaining open‑ocean Atlantic salmon farms—run by Canadian giant Cooke Aquaculture—highlight the complexities of that vision: the pens sit in the same waters where endangered wild salmon migrate, producing nutrient pollution, disease, and escape risks, while a lawsuit alleges federal standard violations. Although Cooke leases about 647 acres of public water for roughly $100 per acre, generating modest local jobs, the overwhelming profits flow overseas, echoing an “extraction economy” that prioritizes corporate gain over coastal community stewardship. Critics argue that this model mirrors industrial agriculture’s consolidation, threatens ecosystems, competes with traditional fisheries, and offers little public return, raising the central question whether America’s future seafood should be managed by local communities or foreign multinationals exploiting public resources.

Young Atlantic #salmon seen in three English rivers for first time in a decade https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/dec/30/young-atlantic-salmon-english-rivers-mersey-bollin-goyt

"Young #AtlanticSalmon have been seen in north-west England for the first time since 2015... Significant stretches of river were biologically dead in the 1980s but today they support thriving ecosystems and are home to a number of pollution-intolerant fish species. Those species are recovering thanks to a significant environmental turnaround"
