Knox County Senator Pinny Beebe-Center presented L.D. 586, a bill aiming to protect Maine fisheries from industrial recirculating aquaculture operations — systems typically used in land-based fish farms. Members of the Marine Resources Committee asked questions of the people who spoke in favor and against the bill during a March 16 public hearing, then decided not to move the bill forward during a March 23 work session.
