Middle Bay Project
AgriMarine and BC-based Middle Bay Sustainable Aquaculture Institute (MBSAI), have launched the first marine based, commercial scale, solid-wall containment tank for the Middle Bay Project located at Campbell River, BC. The 3,000 cubic meter tank will demonstrate a new marine based commercially adaptable technology for sustainable salmon farming.
MBSAI is a not for-profit organization formed for the purpose of researching and developing the use of commercial-scale solid-wall containment systems for aquaculture. Contributing to this project in conjunction with AgriMarine is Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), and US-based Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The project has been endorsed by environmental non-governmental organizations such as the David Suzuki Foundation, Living Oceans Society, the Coast Sustainable Trust and the Georgia Strait Alliance.
