Fish out of water (Foodrise et al.)

This report contains a "Key points" section that serves as an executive summary.

Key points

• Foodrise and Seastemik's research reveals that land-based salmon production is an environmental and ethical disaster representing a new, catastrophic form of factory farming.
• The expansion of land-based facilities will only deepen salmon production's existing impacts, driving demand for wild-caught fish for feed and triggering a cascade of other harms on the environment, wildlife, animal welfare and communities.
• UK and European Union decision-makers must act now to stop the spread of this destructive technology before the industry takes hold and causes irreversible damage.
