For 27 years, GBA’s Aquaculture Committee has been monitoring the potential environmental impacts of open-cage aquaculture in Georgian Bay and the North Channel. And we’re sounding the alarm! We also need your help to spread awareness of the issue, so please help to like and share our upcoming social media posts.
Open-cage aquaculture poses significant risks to our ecosystem, including nutrient loading and water quality issues, threats to wild fish stocks from escaped farmed fish, and introducing contaminants and antibiotics into the environment. GBA calls for government-funded research and a move to land-based aquaculture, a growing global trend. Join us in advocating for a sustainable future for Georgian Bay!
