GBA Calls for Net Cage Aquaculture Compliance
GBA is asking for open net cage aquaculture in Georgian Bay and the North Channel to be compliant with UN and Canadian regulations & standards. In our submission on the proposed Aquaculture Act, GBA recommends that the federal government ensures that these operations comply with the provisions of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the new Canadian Fisheries Act, UN Aquaculture guidelines and related agreements.
