I also think you could get very creative around a five-year migration window, for instance, from net-pen to on-land industry. I think you could be creative about how you use the first few farms, because instead of growing your smolts to 100 or 200 grams and placing them in the ocean, one closed-containment farm could grow the same amount of fish to just a simple one-kilogram mark, and then stock the farms in the ocean. This would allow big fallow windows during the out-migration of the wild salmon.
So you could get very clever about how you use your first investments to ease the pressure on the wild salmon and develop the technology to a cookie-cutter level, where your costs are one-half of what they are today, as you slowly scale towards moving this industry from the ocean to land. I don't know how we'd get it going, but perhaps an all-stakeholder, brainstorming, creative session with legislative recommendations coming out of this that all parties could buy into in terms of a solution process....
