I have been a lobsterman most of my life. I can just imagine what the American Aquafarms project will do to Frenchman Bay. Look at the environmental issues that are already well known when you try to grow large amounts of salmon in a small area: escapes, genetically produced fish, concentrated feces and the devastation these bring to the surrounding environment. The environmental degradation is significant. Net pen salmon have no place in Frenchman Bay and, frankly, no place in Maine. This has to stop. Don’t sell our oceans. ~ Jerry Potter, Gouldsboro
