Fish Out of Water: Land-Based Aquaculture In Maine

Sustainable land-based fish farming is a growing industry world-wide and more recently in Maine. Whole Oceans, Nordic Aquafarms, and American Unagi are active in Maine and are either operating or have projects under development. Kingfish Zeeland, a Dutch company, just announced that it was considering two possible sites in Maine for its proposed expansion into the U.S. market. Come learn about the innovation occurring in sustainable land-based fish farming and the economic opportunity it represents for Maine.

Join E2Tech as we bring together academics, business leaders, and regulators to discuss the technology and economic impacts of sustainable land-based fish farming.
