Conservation Law Foundation is fighting to protect Maine's waters from salmon farm pollution. Join us to learn about CLF's legal advocacy — and the science that supports it.

For this Science Cafe, Clare Soria, an attorney with the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), will dive into the complex world of salmon aquaculture in Maine. She will provide background on the history and growth of salmon farming in the region, explain the environmental challenges it poses, and discuss CLF’s ongoing Clean Water Act enforcement lawsuit against Cooke Aquaculture, USA.

Soria will also highlight CLF’s broader efforts to ensure stronger environmental protections, including advocating for more rigorous regulations and permitting standards to safeguard water quality, marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
