The Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District is excited to announce a new lease with California Marine Investments, LLC (a subsidiary of Nordic Aquafarms) for 30-acres of the Redwood Marine Terminal II facility on the Samoa Peninsula for a potential land-based aquaculture project. The Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the lease at a Special Meeting held on February 11, 2019, however it was made clear during the meeting that the lease is merely the first stage in the process for the potential project. There will be an extensive period of community engagement and regulatory review before the project is ultimately given the green light. Additional Information will be released as it becomes available. Lynette Mullen is Community Outreach Contact for Nordic Aquafarms and can be reached at (707) 845-0467.
