Grieg Seafood is interested in building two new salmon farms near historical Yorke Island in the Sunderland Channel.

The salmon farming company has applied for the regional district for permission to create a new zoning for aquaculture, and then rezone two sites near Yorke Island to establish two new farms.

Grieg Seafoods previously proposed farms at the same sites in 2006. At the time, the proposal was strongly opposed by the Georgia Strait Alliance environmental group.
