First, I think the rural areas are exactly where these farms will be located. They won't be located next to cities; the land is far too expensive. So they'll be located in rural areas like the north island, or the Fraser Delta.
To answer a little further on Mr. Donnelly's question, I think a lot of the estuaries in B.C. are first nations territories. I think estuaries make perfect locations for closed containment farming applications. You want to be as close as you can get to the feed production areas, which are largely vegetable-based, with some fish meal and fish oils added.
So it is a rural activity, as farming is elsewhere.
