The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador has ordered a major aquaculture projected proposed for Placentia Bay to undergo an environmental assessment after the provincial government earlier gave it the go ahead without one. The Atlantic Salmon Federation had challenged the government’s 2016 decision, citing concerns about the possible impact on wild salmon stocks.
