Maine Supreme Court hears arguments over long-running intertidal dispute for planned salmon farm

MAINE PUBLIC • September 8, 2022

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court heard oral arguments Thursday in a long-running dispute over the intertidal property needed for a planned land-based salmon farm in Belfast. The question of who owns the disputed mudflat is an important one, because it's where Nordic Aquafarms wants to lay the pipelines for its planned seawater intake and discharge system. Nordic has secured all of the permits needed to build the salmon farm but can't proceed until the intertidal property dispute is resolved.
