From Ecology Action Centre (EAC): "A quick reminder here to GET THOSE LETTERS IN. Cermaq's application deadline for St. Mary's Bay and Chedabucto Bay is March 27. The company is still compiling community feedback. They claim they haven't made a decision yet. Let's make sure they can't say they didn't hear from us. We're encouraging everyone to write a powerful personal letter of their own. But, if you don't have the time, we've made one for you here (link below). The message is very clear: NO NET-PENS in Nova Scotian waters. Thank you for your support and stay healthy out there!"

ALL APPLICATIONS FOR NEW OR EXPANDED OPEN NET PEN FEEDLOTS IN LIVERPOOL BAY, ST. MARGARET’S BAY, MAHONE BAY, ST. MARY’S BAY AND THE EASTERN SHORE MUST BE UNCONDITIONALLY DENIED. IT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED BY 90% OF ATTENDEES AT PUBLIC MEETINGS, ALL WELL EQUIPPED WITH EVIDENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS THAT THIS MODEL WILL RESULT IN IRREVERSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE INCLUDING THE EXTINCTION OF WILD SALMON AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE LOBSTER INDUSTRY. THE POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS AND INDUSTRY ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY CONSTITUTE A MINUSCULE MINORITY. SAY NO TO FISH FARMS. SAY NO TO CERMAQ AND COOKE.
