In a state where salmon proposals are introduced seemingly continuously, we are obviously a hot spot for factory fish farms and must protect our oceans. This is why it is now more important than ever to advocate against this industrial scale farming to help prevent the exploitation of our public resources for large corporations and foreign interests. People can help reduce the severity of this problem by choosing not to buy farmed finfish next time they are at the store. It is important to think about how we acquire finfish because if we are not careful, we might be inadvertently supporting large corporations instead of our local fishermen. By supporting our local fishermen we can improve the quality of our finfish and protect Maine’s waters from harm. ~ Connor Montgomery, Lewiston
