Join me as I sit down with Kirk Havercroft, CEO of Sustainable Blue in Centre Burlington, West Hants to discuss sustainable salmon farming, why he chose Nova Scotia, and the future of the environmentally friendly seafood industry.

Sustainable Blue raises their Atlantic Salmon in a saltwater closed-loop land-based facility unlike any other. Just like wild salmon, their fish start their life in fresh water and then graduate to saltwater to mature. Swimming in large tanks that replicate the natural water flow of ocean currents, their salmon fishery is designed to mirror the ocean ecosystem, but on land – protecting wild salmon populations from both disease and overfishing.

Their salmon is sustainably fed, saltwater raised, and uses a unique closed-loop system that emits no wastewater.
