We are writing to voice our opposition to the proposed construction in Frenchman Bay of two salmon farms by American Aquafarms. This company would profit from exploiting a treasured natural resource that should be protected for future generations. In addition, it would cause pollution (light, noise and fuel) at unacceptable levels. American Aquafarm’s 20-year lease on local waters would negatively affect the livelihoods of individuals who fish the areas of the proposed farms, and interrupt the visual expanse of open ocean water treasured by those who live, work and visit the greater Bar Harbor area. ~ Suzanne and Ted Murphy, Winter Harbor
