Opinion: Aquaculture project fits Maine’s environmental goals

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 23, 2021

Maine is pursuing an innovative approach to addressing climate change, one that promotes environmental stewardship while driving economic and job growth. Sustainable and eco-friendly aquaculture investment supports not only the state’s goals, but makes Maine a world leader in creating climate-friendly and responsible food production practices and supply chains. My company believes there is tremendous opportunity to produce salmon safely and sustainably, while helping fight climate change and creating high quality jobs. That’s exactly why we’ve proposed a new aquaculture facility along the working waterfront in Gouldsboro. ~ Mikael Roenes, founder and CEO, American Aquafarms
