A brief history of or overview of stories about open pen aquaculture in Nova Scotia (from February 2009-March 2012) is attached. For some comparisons between (typical) aquaculture promises in Shelburne, NS and their delivery on the job front, see here: http://responsibleaquaculture.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/where-are-the-jobs/

Any major breaks in this story (eg. if Minister Belliveau grants a moratorium on further licenses) will also be posted here.

Press releases from the Association for the Preservation of the Eastern Shore are posted under the History section of this website, as are photographs of our meetings and activities.
