Rules Guiding Fish farming in the Gulf are readied
The Rules guiding fish farming have been readied. They are establishing a national policy on fish farming in federal waters. The Federal fishery
management council over the Gulf jurisdiction is establishing permit requirements and are deciding what fish can be farmed and where they can be farmed at and so forth. Jim Balsinger, administrator for fish said in the absence of federal policy for saltwater fish farms, the agency had no grounds to block the Gulf plan. Also a National aquaculture framework was an “urgent” priority and it would be issued for permits within months, but for now the Gulf guidelines have the force of law. Most fish in the U.S. is imported and half of that is farmed fish. For the fish farms it is very difficult to make a profit for it takes more to feed the fish than to produce them.
My first response to reading this article was that I sort of feel bad for the fish. But that Dr. Balsinger really cares about the heath and natural habitat of fish is an extremity to me. I’m more than glade that they are establishing a national policy, maybe fish farmers will be more intentive of how they process things.
I believe that something should of changed a long time ago, but nothing ever changes till it’s tumbling fast and is almost unstoppable. I am glad that it is now because fish farming can be cruel and dangerous not just for the fish but for consumers as well. When I read that “ A National aquaculture framework was an “urgent” priority and it would be issued for permits within months.” That right there (National) means something BIG and should be taken very seriously and with the proper cautions. There
This article explains that these problems have been going on for some time and its reached its point to change the rules for the fish farms and to make problems better for humanity as well.
