State board denies appeal of state permits for Jonesport fish farm proposal

MAINE PUBLIC • August 4, 2022

The Board of Environmental Protection voted Thursday to uphold state approvals of a proposal to build a large-scale, land-based fish farm in Jonesport. The Sierra Club of Maine filed an appeal last December seeking to overturn the approval by Maine Department of Environmental Protection for Kingfish Maine to install inflow and outflow pipes from Chandler Bay in a wetland where it plans to build on Dun Garvan Road.
