Did I hear this correctly on the news just now? Washington State will ban Atlantic salmon?

 

[Steve Saville]

Farming operations such as the one that collapsed late last year but the ban doesn't start for a couple of years.

 

[Tom House]

You heard it right. Phased out by 2025.

I believe that we should ban all open water net pen fish farming in Washington marine waters. This is a good start, though.

Pardon my ignorance but is there other fish being farmed in net pens beyond Atlantics?

As I understand it, the Tribes wanted to leave the door open for more open water net pens for native Pacific Salmon species rearing, like Coho etc.
