Norway-based Greig Seafarms wants to build a massive open-pen salmon farm, with 7 million fish, in Placentia Bay, on the southeast coast of the island of Newfoundland.

With 19 wild-salon rivers connected to the bay, the Atlantic Salmon Federation is deeply concerned. In this episode, Lawrence explores the issue, and how we can balance environmental and economic goals.
