Nordic Aquafarms land-based salmon farming project has received all of its necessary state and city permits to build its 33,000-metric-ton land-based salmon farm in Belfast, Maine. But the project is continuing to see pushback from local opposition groups.
On Tuesday, Maine opposition group Environmental Upstream Watch stated they had appealed all five of the permits granted to Nordic Aquafarms by the Belfast Planning Board.
The appeals are over Nordic allegedly failing to meet application requirements, according to Upstream Watch. The group said Nordic s financial capacity did not meet regulated requirements after the city of Belfast expended extraordinary amounts of time and money on the project.
