March 21, 2o23 — The Northwest Aquaculture Alliance (NWAA) has initiated a concerted campaign to battle the U.S. state of Washignton’s commercial finfish net-pen aquaculture ban.
The ban, issued November 2022, was made via an executive order issued by Washington Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz. In previous comments, NWAA called that decision “unscientific.”
