For those of you following the provincial aquaculture regulatory review, the Stakeholder Roundtable Report has been posted on the review website.
This report is the outcome of the stakeholder discussions and represents the Roundtables’s advice to the Panel member Professors William Lahey and Meinhard Doelle who will table their draft report to the government within the next couple of weeks.

Some Participation Support is available for local meetings to discuss the Panel’s draft report (see Participation Support) on the website.
