Mainebiz cites Aquaculture Research Institute report in article on proposed oyster farm
Mainebiz cited the 2017 Maine Aquaculture Economic Impact Report published by the University of Maine Aquaculture Research Institute in the article, “Size of proposed oyster farm draws opposition.” An application by Mere Point Oyster Co., in Brunswick, for a 40-acre oyster farm in Maquoit Bay has raised concerns among nearby residents, according to the article. Mere Point’s application is in line with Maine’s growing aquaculture industry, the article states, pointing to the ARI report that found oysters are one of Maine’s top three farmed species (along with Atlantic salmon and blue mussels).
