Industrial Waste


Aquaculture

The ministry regulates the discharge of wastes from land-based and marine-based aquaculture operations. Registration and compliance with the Finfish Aquaculture Waste Control Regulation or the Land-based Finfish Waste Control Regulation provides legal authorization for finfish farms to discharge waste, without permits, while ensuring that aquaculture wastes are managed in an environmentally sustainable manner.

The Finfish Aquaculture Waste Control Regulation is currently under review. For information on the regulatory review status, see Proposed Changes to the Finfish Aquaculture Waste Control Regulation.
