"I'm Freeeeee" (times 40,000)

The outfall from a fish farm escape continues. On October 21st, Marine Harvest's Port Elizabeth farm lost an estimated 40,000 Atlantic salmon to the wild. This was followed by government support and scientific uproar.

Now confusion grows on the recovery effort. Special licenses were recently issued to help reduce the impact of this escape, however, a DFO licensing policy may have hindered these efforts.
