There’s lots of interest in an application by Town Point Consulting for three marine aquaculture
licenses and leases for oyster cultivation in the outer reaches of Antigonish Harbour.
A total of 17 groups and individuals applied for Intervenor status to the Nova Scotia Aquaculture Review Board for an upcoming hearing into Town Point’s application, set for April 24th to 28th in Antigonish.
While granting all 17 status, the Review Board says given considerable overlap, the intervenors will be consolidated into three groups. The board states that means that rather than each individual applicant being entitled to question a witness, each of the three groups will chose one person to carry out the examination of the witness at the hearing.
