Report from the Organic Federation of Canada

The comment period for the draft Organic Aquaculture Standards closed August 30th. CGSB has received many comments from the industry, some of a general nature and others that are more specific. These comments are being translated for analysis by the Committee on Organic Aquaculture that will meet October 27-29th in Gatineau. The Organic Aquaculture Standards are currently voluntary; the regulatory environment for the implementation of an aquaculture standard has not yet been defined.
