Thanks for the Fish Farm link Wildman.
I read that very news release last year. It's a little old.
Have read many pro Fish Farm releases and so far I remain unconvinced.
Still believe Fish Farms belong of dry land.

That is the direction the industry is heading but it won't happen tomorrow.

I find the second page of the fish farm report to be pretty ridiculous.

It states that they only take 0.05% of the coast by area .... How is that relevant? Nuclear Reactors take up a very small percentage of land for example and provide significant power. That being said, they also provide significant risk as well if not safeguarded.
