The focus of the salmon aquaculture innovation fund is specifically on a transparent assessment of closed containment technology and, underlying that, there is the debate on what are the nature and extent of the impacts of open-net aquaculture on the marine environment.
The turning point, in terms of looking specifically at closed containment, came at the workshop I talked about, and it came from the work that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans did on assessing whether there were potentially alternative technologies and on whether those alternatives should be evaluated. Really, the focus of the work we do is on looking at whether this is a viable alternative.
