Seven years after publicly announcing plans for a huge
land-based fish production facility on the Samoa Peninsula,
Nordic Aquafarms quietly abandoned the project
altogether. Last month, Nordic CEO Charles Hostlund
submitted paperwork to formally dissolve the company’s
California-based affiliate. … Operations would have
required more than 10 million gallons of seawater per day, plus
roughly 2 million gallons per day of fresh water, which the
Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District (HBMWD) had agreed to
provide. That agency has been in need of an industrial-scale
customer since the pulp mills shut down, given California’s
“use it or lose it” system of allocating water rights.
On this first-ever Foundation water tourwe examined water issues along the 263-mile Klamath River, from its spring-fed headwaters in south-central Oregon to its redwood-lined estuary on the Pacific Ocean in California.
