Industrial fish farms threaten Puget Sound once more
Oct 02, 2019
-
Cooke Aquaculture has moved one step closer to resuming industrial fish farming in Puget Sound. On October 1, Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife advanced a proposal to allow biologically-engineered steelhead trout to be planted in Cooke’s surviving net pens. After the catastrophic collapse of Cooke’s Cypress Island farm in August 2017, public outcry moved Governor Jay Inslee to announce a moratorium on new net pen leases, and the state legislature acted to phase out Atlantic salmon aquaculture by 2024. The 2017 collapse released over 300,000 Atlantic salmon into Puget Sound, requiring a massive response to prevent the non-native Atlantic salmon from harming endangered native salmon and steelhead trout.
