Today, the California Coastal Commission voted unanimously to approve the redevelopment plans proposed by the Humboldt County Harbor District for its seawater intake systems. This decision aligns with the staff recommendation and marks a significant step forward for the region.
The approved improvement plans play a crucial role in facilitating the establishment of a National Marine Research and Innovation Park. This development is timely, coinciding with the momentum in aquaculture advancement nationwide.
“This approval is a pivotal milestone in a broader process for both the Harbor District and Nordic Aquafarms,” states Brenda Chandler, CEO of Nordic Aquafarms. “The revitalization of the old mill site has been long-awaited and heralds a transformative leap for Humboldt County. We eagerly anticipate the next phase of progress.”
Congratulations to the Harbor District on securing the California Coastal Commission’s Coastal Development Permit approval, underscoring their commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
