Nordic Aquafarms, which is based in Norway, wants to produce tens of millions of pounds of salmon per year. The project has faced some local opposition from residents who feel it is too large or could have environmental consequences. A spokesman for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection said the next step in the process is for state staff to draft recommendations on the applications for the board to consider in the future.
