In 2021, the Belfast City Council seized a parcel of mudflats in part to guarantee Nordic had access to Penobscot Bay amid disputes about whether the company owned the land in question. But in May, the council unanimously voted to withdraw its land seizure decision – a response to multiple lawsuits. Nordic Aquafarms has filed a lawsuit asking the Maine Superior Court to determine whether the City Council can reverse its decision to seize land the company needs to build its controversial $500 million fish farm in Belfast.
