I sure hope Maine’s economic development authorities read the June 24 Associated Press article “U.S. imported more seafood in 2017 than any prior year.” Here’s the opportunities this presents:
• 2018 imports will likely beat 2017 imports. You seek job and investment opportunities?
• Our family does not knowingly eat seafood farmed in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam or China, and neither should anyone else’s. Research their reported farming and origin-switching practices on the internet.
• The Maine coastline and ocean waters are a dormant seafood-farming resource the state should have been managing and promoting for years.
• Maine-farmed seafood (fish, oysters, clams) can become a truly world-class brand.
• Maine needs to engage top talent from Scandinavia and Canada to formulate a winning strategy with meaningful incentives for investors – partner with Elmskip.
• Target Maine investors first.
