Re: SMP Revisions
We object strongly to the latest revisions made public in the press release of June 8, 2009 which would now allow
finfish net pen aqualculture of any sort in the waters of Jefferson County. As members of groups which have
worked for decades to keep this economically conunterproductive, environmentally dangerous, unhealthy and
polluting feedlot industry out of our waters, we are stunned that the Planning Commission would even consider
such an inclusion! Drop this revision and return to the position of NO netpen aquaculture.
Similarly, we are are very concerned about the proliferation of any form of floating shellfish aquaculture,and an
apparent last minute attempt to give geoduc aquaculture operations almost carte blanche access to tidera(1ds
throughout the county. In an earlier comment we suggested that a very limited expanded potential for floating
shellfish operations subject to certain conditions might be acceptable. We were also informed in conversation
with a geoduc aquaculturist that the total intertidal area in the county into which geoduc aquaculture could be
expanded was less than twenty-five acres. Based on what we read in the press release, we unfortunately have to
conclude that there has been an effort to slip some really onerous language into the SMP at a late hour. We now
oppose any floating shellfish aquaculture in public waters in the county. We also oppose any expansion of
geoduc aquaculture operations in any public intertidal waters in the county.
