Dutch seafood firm to seek state permit for $110M fish farm proposed in Jonesport

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 7, 2020

A Dutch aquaculture firm that announced plans last fall to expand to North America with a $110 million fish farm in Jonesport, where it hopes to produce 13 million or more pounds of yellowtail each year, is moving ahead with plans to apply to the state for a discharge permit in early August. Kingfish Zeeland, which has an agreement to develop a 94-acre site on Dun Garvan Road, east of central Jonesport on Route 187, needs approval from the state Department of Environmental Protection to draw and discharge seawater between the land-based plant and Chandler Bay.
