New shellfish hatchery planned for British Columbia

摘要

The president of a large new shellfish aquaculture partnership recently held a strategically crucial meeting with residents of the tiny community of Sandspit in British Columbia's northern Haida Gwaii islands. The residents of the remote community onMoresby Island were curious about what was to be discussed.They had heard rumours about a newly-formed aquaculture company that had formed a limited partnership with the economic development representatives of the Haida First Nation in the area, and they wanted to know more. It turns out that the proposal is substantial, with potential to transform the area's shellfish sector.
