Say No to Industrial Fish Farms!
Protect the health of our oceans.
For
more than a decade, the U.S. government has been pushing to open public
waters to commercial-scale open ocean aquaculture – an industry that
involves growing thousands of fish in cages anchored to the seafloor
between three and 200 miles off the U.S. coast. Proponents argue that
this industry will increase the country's food security by developing a
domestic aquaculture industry rather than relying on imports. However,
open ocean aquaculture poses serious threats to human health, the
marine environment, and fishing communities.
Help stop these "factory farms of the sea" from setting up shop in our public waters.
