The Conservation Law Foundation intends to sue a Canadian aquaculture company for what it says are Clean Water Act violations at 13 sites in Maine where the business “grows millions of salmon in 150 cages.” The group said in a statement on Thursday that Cooke Aquaculture “regularly pollutes Maine’s iconic bays and negatively impacts recreation and the lobstering and fishing industries.” Cooke Aquaculture responded with a statement Thursday night, saying the CLF’s claims were “false, misleading and lack any substantiating evidence.”
