Activists oppose industrial farming in U.S. waters
Agribusiness giants and other corporate interests are pushing to expand #industrial #finfish #aquaculture into U.S. federal waters — the open seas — where proponents argue that it will help feed a growing global demand for seafood and have less environmental impact.
They want Congress to pass legislation establishing a #federal #aquaculture system.
Though Congress has not acted, in 2020 Trump issued an executive order that gave the industry a boost, and government agencies have begun the permitting process for several projects in which finfish would be raised in open-ocean pens miles out to sea.
Environmental advocates, including the campaign group #Don’t #Cage #Our #Oceans, are fighting against the proposed congressional bills, calling for a reversal of the executive order and a stop to the proposed projects in U.S. federal waters.
