‘Environmental' non-profits called out for endorsement of Belfast salmon farm

THE QUIETSIDE JOURNAL • February 19, 2022

The Conservation Law Foundation and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute have come under fire for their support of the Nordic Aquafarms from another environmental group questioning their connection to Central Maine Power, which stands to benefit from the project. Amy Grant, president of Upstream Watch, accused Maine CLF Director Sean Mahoney of an ethics breach after he rejected her request for legal assistance in 2018, as she was gathering information on the proposed salmon farm here, and then turned around six weeks later to publicly support Nordic.
