Queens County residents worried about an expanded fish farm in Liverpool Bay have waited five years to have their say. On Tuesday, some of them gathered at a local community centre to work on letters to the Nova Scotia Aquaculture Review Board.
The board opens public hearings on March 4 in Liverpool to review Kelly Cove Salmon’s application to expand its current fish farm in the area. The company wants to add two new sites and increase its total operation to 60 pens from 14, eventually producing an estimated 1.8 million salmon.
Anyone can submit comments to the board by Feb. 12 but they must include certain things, so some residents got together to help each other and to ensure their letters would be accepted by the board.
