Park superintendent outlines salmon farm concerns ACADIA NAT’L PARK In a five-page letter to the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR), Acadia National Park Superintendent Kevin Schneider has detailed serious concerns about the potential impact on the park of a proposed salmon farm in Frenchman Bay. “The scale of the development – the equivalent of 16 football fields – is unprecedented in the United States and incongruous with the existing nature and setting of Frenchman Bay and its surrounding lands,” he said in the July 6 letter to Marcy Nelson, acting director of the DMR’s aquaculture division. American Aquafarms Inc., a Norwegian company, is proposing to develop the salmon farm and to operate a salmon hatchery and processing plant in Gouldsboro. Schneider said the salmon farm would be “just 2,000 feet from Acadia National Park at its closest point.”
