American Aquafarms has entered into an agreement to purchase the Maine Fair Trade Lobster facility in Gouldsboro, where it plans to develop its hatchery and processing facilities. The company is working to develop a workforce strategy plan to support locally sourced, skilled, and unskilled labor during the construction and full production phases.
Products from American Aquafarms will serve the US market demand for salmon, thus reducing the carbon footprint of long-distance air freight currently required for the majority of seafood imports to the US.
