This deal is worth $100 million. This should prove to even the most biased fish farm supporter that there is just no longer any reason to have fish farms in the ocean with their lice, feed, sea lion kills, diseases, effects on wild salmonids, escapes and release of sewage problems.
All farms need to be on land. In BC Canada the leases can be cancelled in 60 days. That is all it takes to rid our pristine oceans of in-ocean farms that typically put out the sewage of the entire output of all the humans in the nation where they operate.
In BC, my estimate of the sewage cost (not to mention its polluting effects) is $10.4 billion that we taxpayers shoulder. We don't want to pay. It is the same sewage of all the people in BC - 4.6 million.
