BendiNewsTest: Fish farm the size of Central Park planned for waters off San Diego Coast

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Fish farm the size of Central Park planned for waters off San Diego Coast

A fish farm with a footprint about the size of Central Park could be coming to Pacific waters just off the coast from San Diego. A project put forward by a partnership between Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute and a private investment firm, the 1.3-square-mile Rose Canyon Fisheries aquaculture facility is planned for a location about four miles offshore from San Diego and projected to produce about 11 million pounds of yellowtail and sea bass per year. According to NPR, the proponents say the farm will help fix a “seafood imbalance,” while a local environmental group has some serious concerns about the project.
