The Washington State Department of Natural Resources announced a potential new path for aquaculture after recent net pen controversy. Sustainable Blue, a Nova Scotia-based fish farm that uses upland tanks to raise Atlantic salmon, is looking to lease land from the state.

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources says one thing is missing from the state’s climate policies. Recent laws don’t allow the state agency to sell carbon credits. Department officials are pushing legislation that would change that law.

An executive order from a Washington state agency earlier this month aims to end commercial net pen fish farming in public waters. Cooke Aquaculture is being forced to shut down its operations, but it has a key partner in its fight to remain. The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is forging ahead with its net pen aquaculture plans, testing a carve-out clause in the order.

Washington state's Department of Natural Resources will ban commercial net pen fish farming in Washington waters, following an executive order announced Friday. The move comes in the same week that the agency opted not to renew the last two remaining leases held by Cooke Aquaculture in Puget Sound.
